Publication of the international application

 

The publication of the international application under the PCT takes the place of the publication referred to in VI, 1, provided that the international application is published in an official language of the EPO. Where the international application is published in a non-official language, the translation of the international application as furnished by the applicant is published by the EPO; the provisions of VI, 1, insofar as they are relevant, apply to such publication.
