Rule 24(1) - OJ 1999, 509
|
| |
Notice dated 2 June 1999 concerning
correspondence with the Office via e-mail
|
| |
Correspondence concerning pending proceedings (formalities examination, search, substantive examination, opposition, appeal) should not be sent to the EPO via e-mail as the Office cannot then guarantee that it will be placed on file in time or processed before the expiry of any relevant deadline.
|
| |
In proceedings under the EPC or PCT, urgent queries or communications should therefore be sent by fax only, indicating the application number and the stage reached in the proceedings (eg imminent expiry of a deadline or imminent oral proceedings), to the EPO's central fax number in Munich (+49-89) 2399-4465).
