If you file a European patent application by fax, you should forward the hard-copy application documents in due form in a single copy at the same time as the duly signed Request for Grant (see Supplements). Otherwise, the EPO will invite you to supply these documents within a non-extendable period of one month. If you fail to comply with this invitation in due time, your application will be refused.

To prevent duplication of files, you are asked to cross the box next to "Confirmation of an application already filed by facsimile" and enter the relevant information at the top of the Request for Grant form.

If you file your application electronically, you do not need to supply paper confirmation.
