Your application is eligible for PPH if:

2. the corresponding, OEE application has been found to contain at least one patentable/allowable claim;
3. all claims of the EP application filed with the EPO as OLE sufficiently correspond with the claims deemed patentable/allowable in the OEE application, and
4. substantive examination of the EP has not begun.
