Sommaire

I. As the giving of decisions on requests for correction of mistakes under Rule 88 EPC has not been entrusted to Formalities Officers in pursuance of Rule 9(3) EPC, all such requests must be dealt with by an Examining Division if and so long as the European patent application to which they relate is undergoing substantive examination.

II. The rejection of a request for correction of mistakes is not a loss of a right resulting from the Convention within the meaning of Rule 69(1) EPC.
