1.3 Translations of the claims 

The communication under Rule 71(3) also invites the applicant to file a translation of the claims in the two official EPO languages other than the language of the proceedings within a non-extendable four-month period.

If the application contains different sets of claims for particular contracting states (see H‑III, 4), a translation of all the sets of claims must be filed.

Only one copy of the translation needs to be filed.

Examiners should not concern themselves with the quality of the translation filed.
