The European Patent Office is competent to assess whether a party is entitled to claim priority under Article 87(1) EPC. There is a rebuttable presumption under the autonomous law of the EPC that the applicant claiming priority in accordance with Article 88(1) EPC and the corresponding Implementing Regulations is entitled to claim priority.<\/p>\n<p>II. The rebuttable presumption also applies in situations where the European patent application derives from a PCT application and\/or where the priority applicant(s) are not identical with the subsequent applicant(s).<br \/>\nIn a situation where a PCT application is jointly filed by parties A and B, (i) designating party A for one or more designated States and party B for one or more other designated States, and (ii) claiming priority from an earlier patent application designating party A as the applicant, the joint filing implies an agreement between parties A and B allowing party B to rely on the priority, unless there are substantial factual indications to the contrary.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Further information<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Do you have questions about European patent protection?\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/sib.arvis.dev\/en\/contacts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Contact us<\/a>, we are happy to help.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Related content<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Articles \u2013\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/sib.arvis.dev\/en\/articles\/is-a-commercially-available-product-always-state-of-the-art-according-to-article-542-epc-by-s-santoro-and-a-antonucci\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Is a commercially available product always state of the art according to Article 54(2) EPC?<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Articles \u2013\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/sib.arvis.dev\/en\/articles\/epo-guidelines-for-examination-2023-whats-new-by-b-soranzo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EPO Guidelines for Examination 2023: what\u2019s new?<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On 10 October 2023 the Enlarged Board of Appeal (EBA) of the European Patent Office issued its decision in consolidated cases G1\/22 and G2\/22, concerning formal priority entitlement under Article 87(1) of the European Patent Convention (EPC).
