Some examples of requests for conversion under Art. 135 EPC:
- EP2507021, 10795926.4 after withdrawal; into a utility model in Spain, in 2020.
- EP3493667, after the application becoming deemed to be withdrawn, into a utility model in Portugal, in 2020.
- Total requests for conversion filed in 2019 with the EPO: 19.
- Search can be carried out using the Bulletin Search at https://data.epo.org/expert-services/index.html using "RCDT" as event code; using e.g. " RCDT [2019, 2019]" as a query.
- I have not yet found an example of a request for conversion in connection with Art. 77(3) in the national registers.
- J13/04 deals with payment of the filing fee and search fee for an EP application filed with a national patent office.
- J1/12 for a deemed withdrawal under Art. 77(3), but the application in suit was not the application that was not forwarded to the EPO.
- J3/80 about a case wherein an application filed with a national patent office was forwarded late. The application file is not accessible because the application was not published. The PDF file of the decision is now published online based on OJ 1980, 92.
- Using the details from the PDF decision, we know the applicant was Chubb Electronics Limited and the filing date was 28.08.1979 which leads us to some of the converted national patents and patent applications: GB2044971B; NL7915030A;
