4.1 No payment of fees or filing of translations necessary 

In the case referred to in C‑V, 4, the applicant will not be required to pay the fee for grant and publishing or any claims fees in reply to the first Rule 71(3) communication, nor will they be required to file any translations of the claims within the relevant period. This applies irrespective of whether the examining division subsequently finds these amendments or corrections to be admissible and allowable and whether the amendments or corrections are reasoned (see C‑V, 4.3).

This also applies if the applicant requests the reversal of amendments proposed by the examining division in the Rule 71(3) communication (see C‑V, 1.1). And it applies if the Rule 71(3) communication was based on an auxiliary request and the applicant replies by requesting that a grant be based on a higher-ranking request.
