Any documents, apart from annexes, filed after filing of the European patent application must be signed unless they are annexes. The name of the person filing such documents will be accepted by way of signature on telegrams and telexes, as will the reproduction of the filer's signature on faxes. The name and position of that person must be clear from the signature.

If the signature is omitted on a document, the EPO will invite the party concerned to sign within a fixed time limit. If signed in due time, the document retains its original date of receipt; otherwise it is deemed not to have been received.
