Detail
In order to promote efficient and high quality patent processing internationally, we are
cooperating with other patent offices to share the results of examination where they are available.
We are obliged to provide some information before publication to the European Patent Office.
However, if you are requesting that substantive examination takes place before your application
is published we may receive a request from another patent office for the details of the
examination we have carried out before your application is published and we could not provide
those details without your consent. Any sharing will be carried out on a confidential basis and
the results will not become publicly available through the other patent office before publication
takes place in the UK.
If you are filing this form with a form 9A for the same application and you do not want the
search and substantive examination to be done at the same time, you should indicate this by
writing ‘Not combined search and examination’ on the front of this form in the space below part
5.
