Exergue
The wording of Articles 16 and 18 EPC as they stand leaves no room for an interpretation according to which the responsibility for a European patent application could be split between Receiving Section and Examining Division. The clear and mutually exclusive allocation of this responsibility in the Convention prevails over considerations of procedural or cost economy (contrary to decision J 0008/82). Thus, relying on the point in time at which a request for correction was made rather than on the two acts mentioned in Article 16 EPC (request for examination or indication under Article 96(1) EPC) would be contra legem.
