Formal examination procedure before the Receiving Section - Catchword
- 1. The filing of drawings where the re-production of the figures is of low visual quality cannot be remedied by Rule 56 EPC.
2. It is within the responsibility of the applicant to determine the scope of the disclosure by selecting a readable version of the application documents including the figures reproduced in the drawings. However, the question of what technical features the figures in the drawings show with respect to the claimed invention is not part of the formal examination procedure before the Receiving Section. - Citing cases
