2.3 Instructions in Chapter A‑III ("Examination of formal requirements")
2.3.7 Prohibited matter
|
A revised version of this publication entered into force. |
As prohibited statements or matter may not necessarily be omitted under Art. 21(6) PCT, the application must be examined to ensure that the instructions in A‑III, 8 ("Prohibited matter") are complied with. Where the EPO is informed by the International Bureau that statements or matter were omitted from the published PCT application, the Receiving Section has to ensure that the corresponding material is excluded from the translation as furnished by the applicant (see E‑IX, 2.1.3).
