Abstract:An examination of the application by the Registry is necessary for a decision on an application for provisional measures. First, the Registry checks whether an opt-out has been declared for the patent at issue (Rule 16.1). If an opt-out has been declared, the Registry informs the applicant pursuant to Rule 16.1 and requests him to withdraw or to complete the application.
