GL B XI 3.7 Search division's approach | XEPC: EPC and PCT resource

Error message

Deprecated function: Using ${var} in strings is deprecated, use {$var} instead in include_once() (line 1442 of includes/bootstrap.inc).

Deprecated function: Optional parameter $type declared before required parameter $nid is implicitly treated as a required parameter in include_once() (line 1442 of includes/bootstrap.inc).

The search division does not require or suggest amendments merely because it thinks they will improve the wording of the description or claims. A pedantic approach is undesirable; what is important is that the meaning of the description and claims is clear. However, any serious inconsistencies between the claims and the description as filed are objected to (see F‑IV, 4.3).
