Is the RP programme based on a specific procedure?
Partner offices systematically consult the related EPO applications and reuse corresponding EPO work products to the maximum extent practicable under their applicable national/regional legal frameworks. The reuse procedure is integrated in the patent grant processes of the partner offices and customised to take into account specific legal, procedural and operational differences and requirements. To ensure consistency in the implementation of RP among the participating offices, the EPO provides its partners with extensive technical support, tools and guidance on the reuse procedure.
