As indicated in VIII, 1.3, a divisional application must be filed in the language of the proceedings of the parent application. If the applicant has availed himself of Art. 14(2) in filing the parent application, he may also use for the divisional application the original language of the parent application, provided he is entitled to do so. He must then file a translation in the language of the proceedings of the parent application within three months after the filing of the parent application, but not later than thirteen months after the date of priority. The translation may, however, also be filed at any time within one month of the filing of the divisional application. The application is not accorded the date of filing of the parent application if these requirements are not met. If the translation is not filed within the above-mentioned time limit, the divisional application is deemed to be withdrawn pursuant to Art. 90(3).
