Extent of re-examination

 

After the first examination stage, provided that the first communication was comprehensive and clear (see VI, 3.3 and VI, 3.4) the examiner will not normally need to completely reread the application but rather should concentrate on the amendments themselves, the related passages, and the deficiencies noted in the first communication.
