Date of receipt

The rules governing the filing of the European patent application set out in point 110 apply mutatis mutandis to the filing of other documents. As with documents filed by fax, the date of filing accorded to documents filed by telegram or telex is the date on which they are received in full; save as provided for in point 124, all other documents relating to the application may only be filed with the EPO.
