Are there any transitional provisions governing the Rules in the Implementing Regulations to the EPC 2000?
With one exception, relating to Rule 62 (see below), there are no separate transitional provisions governing the Implementing Regulations to the EPC 2000. The applicability of the Rules depends on the transitional provisions for the EPC Articles on which the Rules are based (see Article 2 of the decision of the Administrative Council of 7 December 2006 amending the Implementing Regulations to the European Patent Convention 2000. The only separate transitional provision concerns Rule 62 EPC 2000, stipulating that the latter shall only apply to European patent applications and international applications entering the European phase filed on or after 1 July 2005).
