The material covers divisional and translation filing timing, recording transfers of rights, fee and language-validity conditions to keep applications pending, and restoring priority after unintentional late PCT filing. Additional scenarios address correcting wrong-filed drawings in PCT applications under different discovery dates, preventing publication, and managing filing fees and translation deadlines for an EP application based on a Romanian priority.

(6 points)  \nOn 12 August 2022 , a divisional European patent application EP-F3 is filed in Italian per fax by three joint applicants: A, B and C. On 12 September 2022 , a translation of EP-F3 in the language of the proceedings of its parent application is filed.  \nEP-F3's parent application is EP-F2, which is a divisional application of EP-F1 .  \nEP-F3 comprises 1 page abstract, 40 pages description and 2 pages with 13 claims. A is an Italian university.  \nB is an Italian enterprise which employs 500 persons, and which has an annual turnover of EUR 40 million and an annual balance sheet total of EUR 40 million.  \nC is an Italian national resident in the USA.  \nOn 4 October 2022 , a noting of loss of rights is sent because no fees have been paid.  \nA transfer of rights is planned for 19 December 2022: Applicant B will transfer its rights in respect of EP-F3 to applicant C.  \na. What procedural steps must be taken for the transfer of rights to be recorded?  \nb. Under what circumstances is the filing in Italian valid? What steps need to be taken and what fees need to be paid to ensure that EP-F3 remains pending?  \nc. What needs to be done if the applicants want to pay the examination fee at the reduced rate provided for in Article 14(1) of the Rules relating to Fees?  \n2. (5 points)  \nOn 22 May 2020, applicant B filed US application US-B in English. Despite all due care being taken by applicant B, international application PCT-B claiming priority from US-B was only filed on 7 June 2021. The USPTO, acting as receiving Office, granted the applicant’s request for restoration of the right of priority on the basis that the failure to file PCT-B within the priority period was unintentional.  \nOn 9 December 2022, applicant B took all the steps required under Rule 159 EPC for PCT-B to enter the European phase before the EPO.  \nWhen did the time limit for filing the request for restoration of the right of priority at the USPTO acting as receiving Office expire?  \nWhat must be done before the EPO as designated Office, and by when, to ensure that the restoration of the right of priority is effective in the European phase?  \n3. (7 points)  \nYour client CoffeeBreak filed a European patent application claiming a new type of coffee maker on 20 December 2021 but withdrew it before search. CoffeeBreak then asked you to file an international patent application claiming priority of the European patent application and with no amendments compared to that application. The priority application contains drawings that are essential for understanding the invention.  \nOn 5 December 2022 , you filed an international patent application claiming priority of the European patent application at the International Bureau, using PCT/RO/101 . Your colleague handling a patent application for shoe soles left by mistake his drawings in your filing folder. Therefore, you filed the wrong drawings with the international patent application claiming the coffee maker instead of the correct drawings.  \na. You discover your mistake today, 12 December 2022. Assuming that the International Bureau does not detect the wrong drawings, what actions can you take of your own volition to ensure that the correct drawings are included in the international patent application while maintaining the original filing date? What is the applicable time limit for performing these actions? Please give reasons for your answer.  \nb. You do not discover your mistake until receiving a PCT/RO/107 notification dated  \n4 January 2023from the International Bureau. What actions can you take to ensure that the correct drawings are included in the international patent application while maintaining the original filing date? What is the applicable time limit for performing these actions? Please give reasons for your answer  \nc. What would be your answer to previous questions (a) and (b) if, at your client's request, you had not claimed priority of the European patent application?
