A copy of any document cited by the examiner but not mentioned in the search report, for example one found in a search under C‑IV, 7.1, C-IV, 7.2 or C-IV, 7.3, is made available to the applicant. MyEPO Portfolio users receive all cited documents electronically in their Mailbox. Applicants not having opted for electronic notification via Mailbox receive paper copies of non-patent literature and translations of cited patent literature by post. Digital copies of cited patent literature documents are accessible in Espacenet (worldwide.espacenet.com/).
