6. Correction of erroneously filed application documents or parts
Where applicants are informed about the new filing date, they may, within one month of the communication under Rule 56a(3) or Rule 56a(6) as applicable (see A‑II, 6.3 and A‑II, 6.4), withdraw the correct application documents or parts in order to maintain the initial date of filing. In this case, redating of the application and any filing of the correct documents or parts will be deemed not to have occurred. The erroneously filed documents or parts will be restored to the application as filed. The EPO will inform the applicants of this in accordance with Rule 56a(7).
