INFORMATION FROM THE EPO
Notice from the European Patent Office concerning publication of the "Ancillary Regulations to the European Patent Convention" - 2010 edition
Many provisions of the EPC and its Implementing Regulations empower the President of the European Patent Office to take decisions concerning legal or technical details of the procedure before the EPO. These powers are also implicit in the overall managerial responsibility conferred upon the President.
These ancillary regulations to the EPC are being published in Special edition No. 1 of the Official Journal 2010. This update contains presidential decisions and EPO notices of particular importance for patent practitioners, together with selected Administrative Council decisions and other relevant texts.
Together with the 14th edition of the EPC, which contains references to the decisions and notices concerned, this OJ special edition provides a handy but comprehensive overview of current European patent law.
Official Journal subscribers will receive their copy separately. It can also be ordered from the EPO sub-office in Vienna, using the order form enclosed with the present OJ issue or online https://secure.epo.org/products/oj/index.en.php.
