`
`INSTRUCTIONS CONCERNING AMENDMENTS UNDER ARTICLE £9
`
`The applicant has, after havimg received the international scarch report and the written opinion of the Intcrnational Searching
`Authority, one opportunity to amend the claimsof the international application. It should however be emphasizedthat, since all parts
`ofthe intemational application (claims, description and drawings} may be amended during the international preliminary cxamination
`procedure, there is usually no need to file amendments ofthe claims under Article 19except where, e.g, the applicant wants the latter
`to be published for the purposes of provisional protection or hag another reason for amending the claims before international
`publication. Furthermore, it should be emphasized that provisional protection 1s available in some States only (see PCT Applicant's
`Guide),
`
`The attention of the applicant is drawn to the fact that amendments to the claims under Article 19 are not allowed where the
`International Searching Authority has declared, under Article 17(23, that no international search report would be established (see PCT
`Applicant's Guide, paragraph 296).
`
`What parts of the international application may be amended ?
`UnderArticle 19, only the claims may be amended.
`
`During the international phase, the claims may also be amended (or further amended) under Article 34 before the International
`Preliminary Examining Anthority. The deseription and drawings may ouly be amenderl under Article 34 before the International
`Prelirotnary Examining Authority.
`
`Upon cntry into the nalional phasc, all parts of the international application may be amended under Article 28 or, where
`applicable, Artcic 41.
`
`When? Within 2 months from the date of transmittal of the international search report or 16 months from the priority date,
`whichever time limit expires later. It should be noted, however, that the amendments will be considered as having been
`received on time if they are received by the International Burean after the expiration of the applicable time limit but hefore
`the completion ofthe technical preparations for international publication (Rule 46.1).
`
`Where not to file the amendments ?
`
`The amendments may only be filed with the International Bureau and net with the receiving Office or the International Searching
`Authority (Rule 46,2),
`
`Where a demand for international preliminary examination has been/is filed, see below.
`
`How ? Either by cancelling one or more entire claims, by adding one or more new claims or by amending the text of one or more of
`the claims as filed.
`
`A replacement sheet or sheets containing a complete set of claims in replacement ofall the claims previously filed must be
`submitted.
`
`Where a claim is cancelled, no renumbcring ofthe other claims is required. In all cases where cleims arc renumbered, they
`must be renumbered consecutively in Arabic numerals (Section 205(a}).
`The amendments must be made in the language in which the international application is to be published.
`
`What documents must/may accompany the amendments ?
`
`Letter Section 205(b)):
`The amendments must he submitted with a letter.
`
`The letter will not be published with the international application and the amended claims. It should not be confused
`with the “Statement under Article 19(1)” (see below, uncer “Statement under Article 19(1Y”).
`
`The letter must be in Engtish or French, at the choice of the applicant. However, if the language of the
`international application is English, the letter must be m English; if the language of the international applicaliun

`
`2,
`
`3.
`
`The following examplesillustrate the manner in which amendments must be explained in the accompanyingletter:
`1.
`[Where originally there were 48 claims and after amendment of some claims there are 51]:
`“Claims 1] to 29, 31, 32, 34, 35, 37 to 48 replaced by amended claims bearing the same numhers;
`claitns 30, 33 and 36 unchunped,
`new cluimns 49 to $} added,”
`[Where oriyinally there were 15 gluims and aller amendmentofall claims there are 11]:
`“Claims 1 to 15 replaced by amended claims 1 to 11.”
`[Where originally there were 14 claims and the amendments consist in cancelling someclaims and in adding new claims]:
`“Claims 1 to 6 and 14 unchanged; claims 7 to 13 cancelled; newclaims 15, 16 and 17 added.”or
`“Claims-7 to 13 cancelled; new claims 15, 16 and |? added, all other claims unchanged,”
`[Where vations kinds of amendments are made}:
`“Claims 1-10 unchanged; claims 11 to 13, 18 and 19 cancelled; claims 14, 15 and 16 replaced by amended claim 14;
`claim 17 subdivided into amended claims 15,16 and 17;
`new claims 20 and 21 added.”
`
`4.
`
`“Statement under Article 19(1)” (Rule 46.4)
`
`The amendments may be accompanicd by a statement expluiming the amendments and indicating any impact that such
`amendments night have on the description and the drawings (which cannot be amended under Article 19(1)).
`Thestatement will be published with the international application and the amended claims.
`Tt must be in the language in which the international application is to be published.
`Tt must be brief, not exceeding 500 words if in Englishor if translated ilo English.
`It should not be confused with and does not replace the letter indicating the ditferences between the claims as filed and as
`amended. It must be filed on a separate sheet and must be identified as such by a heading, preferably by using the words
`“Statement under Article 19(1),”
`Tt may not contain any disparaging comments on the international search report or the relevance of citations contained in that
`report. Reference to citations, relevant to a given claim, contained in the international search report may be made only in
`connection with an amendmentofthat claim.
`
`Consequence if a demand for international preliminary examination has already been filed
`
`If, at the time of filing any arnendments and any accotnpanying slatetnetl, under Article 19, 4 demand for international
`preliminary examination has eiready been submitted, the applicant must preferably, at the time of filing the amendments (and
`any statement) with the International Bureau,also file with the International Preliminary Examining Authority a copy of such
`amendments (and of any statement} and, where required, a translation of such amendments for the procedure before that
`Authority (see Rules 55.3fa} and 62.2, first sentence). For further information, see the Notes to the demand foun
`(PCTAIPEAAIO1).
`
`If a demand for mtemetional preliminary examination is made, the written opinion of the International Searching Authority
`will, except in certain cases where the International T'reliminary Examining Authority did net act as International Searching
`Authority and where it has notified the International Gureau under Rule 66.15is(b), be considered to be 2 wmitlen opinion of
`the International Preliminary Examining Authority. If a demand is made, the applicant may submit to the International
`Preliminary Examining Authority a reply to the written opinion together, where appropriate, with amendments before the
`expiration of 3 months from the date of mailing of FormPCTASA/220or before tae expiration cf 22 months trom the priority
`date, whichever expires later (Rule 43bis.1(c}).
`
`Consequence with regard to translation of the international application for entry into the national phase
`
`The applicunt’s attention is drawn to the fact that, upon entry mo the national phase, 4 tanslation of the claims as amended
`under Article 19 may have to be furnished to the designated/elected Offices, instead of, or in addition to, the translation ofthe

`Claim § is dependcnt cn claim 1. It would be obvious to the person skilled in the art to search a program by time of day. The sobution
`propesed in claim 8 ofthe present application cannot be considered as involving an inventive step (Article 33(3) PCT),
