Description and claims

 

The contents of the description and claims do not require close scrutiny - it is sufficient to identify a document (or documents) which appears to include a description and one or more claims. The requirements under Art. 80 for according a filing date are not fulfilled if the description and the claims are filed in two different official languages (see J 18/96, OJ 8/1998, 403).
