I. Rule 19(1) EPC requires consent to the rectification of a designation of inventor to be given by a "wrongly designated" person. A person already named whose name is not to be cancelled from the designation is not a "wrongly designated" person within the meaning of the Rule and his consent to the addition of the name of another person is not required.
II. If a request to amend the designation of inventors is made at an early stage during the period in which the Receiving Section is still responsible for examination of the European patent application as to formal requirements and for publication of the application, the Receiving Section is obliged to make a decision concerning the request and remains competent to issue its decision even after responsibility for the further examination of the application has passed to the Examining Division.
