In which language should the demand be filed?
–
If the international application was filed in a language other than the language in which it was published, the demand must be filed in the language of publication (e.g. application filed in Dutch, see point 4.1.044).
–
If a translation of the application has to be filed with the EPO as IPEA (see points 4.1.041-points 4.1.043), the demand must be filed in the language of that translation (e.g. application filed in Spanish, see point 4.1.042).
