A revised version of this publication entered into force. |
When, in exercising its discretion under Rule 137(3), the examining division refuses to admit amended claims, it must give reasons for so doing. For details on how to exercise this discretion, see H‑II, 2.3 and H‑II, 2.7.
If no other requests are on file, then there is no text agreed by the applicant and the application is to be refused under Art. 113(2).
