I.If a supplementary European Search report has to be drawn up in respect of an international application which is deemed to be a European patent application, the applicant is entitled to receive the invitations provided for in Article 96(1) EPC and Rule 51(1) EPC.
II. Since in the case of such an international application, responsibility for examination of the application does not pass to the Examining Division until the applicant has indicated under Article 96(1) EPC that he desires to proceed further with his application, the applicant may obtain a refund of the examination fee if in response to the invitation under Article 96(1) EPC he withdraws his application, or allows it to be deemed to be withdrawn.
