Sommaire

An incomplete priority declaration may be corrected, by the addition of an omitted priority in special circumstances, even after publication of the European patent application without a warning to the public that a request for correction has been made, provided that the public has been informed about the full scope of European patent protection sought, by way of a second European or Euro-PCT patent application, filed as a precautionary measure by the applicant in due time (continuation of the case law of the Legal Board of Appeal as summarised in case J 6/91, OJ EPO 1994,349).
