Updates
Since 1 July, the European Patent Office (EPO) started acting as Supplementary International Searching Authority (SISA). To this end the Agreement between the European Patent Organisation and the International Bureau of the World Intellectual Property Organization was updated effective 1 July 2010. In addition, a number of decisions of the President of the EPO and Notices from the EPO have been updated. All these updates have been published in the May-issue of the 2010 Official Journal of the EPO.
See http://www.epo.org/patents/law/legal-texts/journal/2010/05.html
The updated references should also be reflected in the 2010-edition of the X-Ref PCT. The main replacements are:
- OJ 2007, 617 --> OJ 2010, 304 [in PCT Art.17, 34 and in PCT R.12.4, R.16.2, 16.3, R.39, R.39.1, R.41.1, 58.3, R.67, R.67.1, R.92.2]
- OJ 2003, 574 + OJ 2004, 305 --> OJ 2010, 335 [in PCT R.90.4, R.90.5]
- A reference to OJ 2010, 305, Art.3(4) may be added in PCT R.45bis
In the edition of the “The Cross-Referenced PCT” as issued in April 2010, unfortunately, not all amendments to the PCT Regulations as in force since July 1, 2010 have been taken into account. These amendments relate to the to the establishment of equivalent amount of certain fees. In the enclosed pdf-file these amendments are listed: the text to be deleted is indicated in (strikethrough) red and the new text is indicated in blue. The author apologizes for the inconvenience caused by this omission.
