Learn about patents from the EPO (V)

On April 9, 2024, the applicant filed a European patent application that was identical to the Danish patent application filed on April 10, 2023, and claimed priority. One week later, on April 17, 2024, the applicant realized that the claims filed were incorrect and that the drawings were omitted. In this case, is it possible to correct the claims and submit the missing drawings?

Which statement is correct?

• a. No, it is not possible to correct the claims or add missing drawings without changing the filing date, which would result in loss of priority rights.
• b. Correct claims can be filed within two months of filing the application or within two months of the EPO issuing a request for correction, but missing drawings cannot be added without changing the filing date.
• c. Claims may be corrected and drawings may be added without changing the filing date.
