Chapter V – Non-prejudicial disclosures
2. Time limit
In both cases G‑V, 1(i) and G‑V, 1(ii), it is essential that the disclosure took place no more than six months before the application was filed. For calculating the six-month period the relevant date is the actual date of filing date of the European patent application, not the priority date (G 3/98 and G 2/99).
