6. Correction of erroneously filed application documents or parts
If applicants become aware that they filed incorrect application documents or parts and wish to file correct ones on or before the date the requirements of Rule 40(1) are fulfilled (see A‑II, 4.1), they can do so without needing to file a new application and pay the corresponding fees (Rule 56a(2)). The correct application documents or parts are included in the application and the erroneously filed ones are deemed not to have been filed. The EPO will inform the applicants of this in accordance with Rule 56a(2).
