5.10 Examination
5.10.002The applicant must therefore file a written request for examination. If Form 1200, as recommended, is used (see point 5.1.015), this requirement will always be met since the appropriate check box is preselected (Form 1200, Section 4).
5.10.003The request for examination is only effective if the examination fee has been paid. Therefore, the examination fee must be paid in due time (see points 5.10.004-5.10.007 and 5.10.011).
