An applicant may also appoint an agent to represent him specifically before the EPO in its capacity as ISA. Moreover, the agent appointed for the international phase - and thus including for the procedure before the ISA - may appoint a sub-agent to represent the applicant specifically before the EPO as ISA. All communications issued by the ISA are sent to the agent specifically appointed for the procedure before the EPO as ISA.
3.1.022
Any agent specifically appointed to act before the EPO as ISA must be entitled to practise before the EPO (see point 2.9.003).
3.1.023
The requirement in respect of filing a separate power of attorney or a copy of a general power of attorney has been waived by the EPO as ISA (see point 2.9.014).
