Rule 137 Verdrag inzake de verlening van Europese octrooien (Europees Octrooiverdrag)

AMENDMENTS AND CORRECTIONS

1 Before receiving the European search report, the applicant may not amend the description, claims or drawings of a European patent application unless otherwise provided.

2 Together with any comments, corrections or amendments made in response to communications by the European Patent Office under Rule 70a, paragraph 1 or 2, or Rule 161, paragraph 1, the applicant may amend the description, claims and drawings of their own volition.

3 No further amendment may be made without the consent of the Examining Division.

4 When filing any amendments referred to in paragraphs 1 to 3, the applicant shall identify them and indicate the basis for them in the application as filed. If the Examining Division notes a failure to meet either requirement, it may request the correction of this deficiency within a period of one month.

5 Amended claims may not relate to unsearched subject-matter which does not combine with the originally claimed invention or group of inventions to form a single general inventive concept. Nor may they relate to subject-matter not searched in accordance with Rule 62a or Rule 63.
