Event Overview

The Procedure of examination of European applications is defined in the European Patent Convention. It is described in more detail in the Guidelines for Examination. But how precisely does the Examining Division come to the conclusion that the application documents are in order for grant? An insight into the decision making process knowledge may help to draft Replies to the Communications of Examiner more efficiently.
