If an international application is filed by fax, the date on which the facsimile application documents are received in full at the EPO is accorded as the date of receipt of the application. Each of the EPO filing offices is based in the Central European Time zone (CET).

If an international application is filed by fax, the original, i.e. the confirmation copy, is to be filed simultaneously, and the fax should state that the confirmation copy has been filed separately on paper at the same time (see point 58).

If the confirmation copy is not submitted within 14 days, the applicant will be invited to submit it. If the confirmation copy is not received after expiry of the time limit set in this invitation, the application will be considered withdrawn (see point 428).
