A revised version of this publication entered into force. |
Extension and validation are deemed to be requested in respect of all extension and validation states (see, however, A‑III, 12.1, sixth paragraph, regarding Euro-PCT applications), and this is indicated in the published application, the European Patent Register and the European Patent Bulletin. Those states for which the extension or validation fees have been paid are subsequently indicated in the European Patent Register, the European Patent Bulletin and the published patent specification.
