The interests of third parties are not adversely affected by a correction, if the mistake in the particulars of the priority declaration is apparent on the face of the published patent application ("apparent discrepancy"). II. In cases where the applicant requested transmittal of the priority documents according to Rule 17.1(b) PCT in due time, a wrong document may be replaced, even after publication of the international application, if the request for transmittal erroneously indicated a wrong document number. |
