Warning
After an application for a patent has been filed, the Comptroller will consider whether publication or communication of the invention should be prohibited or restricted under section 22 of the Patents Act 1977. You will be informed if it is necessary to prohibit or restrict your invention in this way. Furthermore, if you are resident in the United Kingdom and your application contains information which relates to military technology, or would be prejudicial to national security or the safety of the public, section 23 of the Patents Act 1977 prohibits you from applying for a patent abroad without first getting written permission from the Office unless an application has been filed at least 6 weeks beforehand in the United Kingdom for a patent for the same invention and either no direction prohibiting publication or communication has been given, or any such direction has been revoked.
Until such time or until the revocation of any direction, for any such application the address for service referred to at part 4 above must be in the United Kingdom.
In all other cases, the name of the applicant will be published online shortly after we receive your application, together with the title of the invention. Later, when the whole application is published, most information and documents filed in relation to the application will become publicly available online. The name and address of the applicant, the agent, and the address for service will be published on our website and are likely to appear in external search engine results. You should provide a business or PO Box address if you do not want your home address published online.
Although you may have an address for service in the Channel Islands or Gibraltar, any agent you appoint to act for you must reside or have a place of business in the United Kingdom, the Isle of Man or the European Economic Area.

Is the priority date you are claiming within 12 months of the date of filing of your application?

YES	NO

You should complete Parts 4 (ii) & 6 of this form and send it, with the appropriate fee within 16 months of the filing date of the priority application.

Is the priority date you are claiming within 14 months of the filing date of your application?

YES	NO

It may still be possible to make your claim to priority. To do this you must request late declaration of priority under Rule 7(2) of the Patents Rules by completing parts 4(i), 5 & 6 of this form. Also see** below.

Unfortunately you are too late to make this priority claim.

Option d) sometimes an examiner will tell you that your claims relate to more than one invention. In such circumstances the examiner will only search the first invention of the claims. If you wish other inventions to be searched you should use this option, filing a separate form with this option ticked for each invention you wish to be searched. You should also indicate on the form(s) the claims relating to the invention to be searched. You will need to pay a fee for each further invention to be searched.

c)	If you do not identify an invention, the second invention specified in the search report previously made under Section 17(5) will be searched.

d)	We will supply one copy of each non-patent document such as journal articles cited in the search report or during the substantive examination process. Patent documents cited during the application process are usually accessible for free on the internet (particularly from http://worldwide.espacenet.com/) and you will not be issued with a copy of them. For copyright reasons, all copies of citations supplied by the Office must be used for the sole purpose of processing the patent application.

e)	Before your application is searched you must pay an application fee, as well as the search fee required with this form. If you have not already paid the application fee you can do so when filing this form. Note that the application fee is higher when paid after the date you filed your application. For details of the fees and ways to pay them, please contact the Office.

f)	If you have selected option (a) or (b) in part 4 of this form, please indicate the current number of claims in your application.

g)	In order to promote efficient and high quality patent processing internationally, we are cooperating with other patent offices to share the results of searches and examinations. We are obliged to provide some information before publication to the European Patent Office. We may also provide the results of the search
and any examination that has been carried out to other patent offices, even if this is prior to publication of your application. Any sharing prior to publication of your application will be carried out on a confidential basis and the results will not become publicly available through the other patent office before publication takes place in the UK.
