GA C5.10.3.2 5.10.3.2

Reduction if IPER was issued by the EPO 
5.10.009
The examination fee is reduced by 75% where the EPO acting as IPEA has already drawn up an international preliminary examination report in respect of the relevant Euro-PCT application, unless in the European phase the applicant is seeking a patent for an invention which is not the subject of that report (see points 4.2.027 and 4.2.037 ff).
5.10.010
If the conditions for both reductions (see points 5.10.008-5.10.009) are fulfilled, the examination fee is first reduced by 75%. The 30% reduction is applied to the resulting total and not to the full fee. Therefore, the total reduction in relation to the full fee is 82.5%.
