Particulars of a priority declaration (date and file number pursuant to Rule 38(1) EPC) may be corrected even after publication of the European patent application without a warning provided that the interests of third parties are not adversely affected (see decision J 04/82, OJ EPO 1982, 385 and J 03/82, OJ EPO 1983, 171).
The interests of third parties are not adversely affected by a correction, if the mistake in the particulars of the priority declaration is apparent on the face of the published patent application ("apparent discrepancy").
