The collection represents purely an internal research tool for the purpose of Directorate Patent Law of the European Patent Office. No guarantee can be given for its completeness or correctness.&lt;br /&gt;
The documents produced before 1969 cannot be provided in English as this was not an official language in the period before that date. These documents therefore are provided in French and German.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The Working Party also confirmed that the Administrative Council should previously determine the limits within which the European Patent Office may request advances.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
20. In the view of the Working Party the European Patent Office should be able, for the purpose of covering short-term financial needs, not only to request advances from the Contracting States, but also to obtain bank loans, with the approval of the Administrative Council. However, the Working Party decided not to lay down this option, which, in its view, went without saying in view of the legal personality of the European Patent Office, in a particular Article, in order to avoid unnecessarily limiting the powers of action of the European Patent Office in this respect by a restrictive text.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
21. The Working Party decided not to include in the Convention a provision to the effect that belated payment of advances was to be subject to interest. In its view it would be a mistake to attach too great importance to this problem. Paragraph 2 was therefore deleted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Article 42f (now Article 42e) - Appropriations for unforeseeable expenditure&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
22. The Working Party retained this provision, whereby appropriations for unforeseeable expenditure may be contained in the budget, in the same form as in BR/GT IV/31/70. As observed by the Working Party, this Article together with other provisions makes the setting up of an operational fund and a reserve fund superfluous.&lt;br /&gt;

INTER-GOVERNMENTAL CONFERENCE FOR THE SETTING UP OF A EUROPEAN SYSTEM FOR THE GRANT OF PATENTS&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
of the third meeting of Working Party IV&lt;br /&gt;
(Luxembourg, 13-15 October 1970)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. The third meeting of Working Party IV was held in Luxembourg, from 13 to 15 October 1970, with Mr. E. ARMITAGE, Comptroller General, Patent Office, London, in the Chair.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The representatives of the International Patent Institute at The Hague and of WIPO/BIRPI took part in the meeting as observers. The representative of the General Secretariat of the Council of Europe apologised for his absence. (1)&lt;br /&gt;
2. The Working Party began by examining, on the basis of various working documents (BR/GT IV/31/70 and BR/GT IV/36/70 with Addendum), the financial provisions of the First Preliminary Draft Convention establishing a European System for the Grant of Patents (Articles 42-53 and Article 187). It adopted these provisions as set out in BR/56/70.&lt;br /&gt;
(1) The list of participants is given in the Annex.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
BR/GT IV/41 e/70 lor/RT/fm&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Page 8 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Article 42e ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
11. Article 42e regulates the conditions under which the European Patent Office can ask for advances. Working Party IV examined the principle of the matter and agreed to continue the examination during its meeting in October.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Article 42f ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
12. Still with the object of allowing the European Patent Office to meet all the situations which might arise and, more particularly, to put it in a position to deal with any unforeseeable expenditure during the running-in period, Article 42 f makes it possible to introduce an item for unforeseeable expenditure into the EPO&amp;#039;s budget, the employment of the appropriations assigned to this item being subject to a prior decision by the Administrative Council.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Article 42g ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
13. Article 42 g applies to the transitional period and provides for a recourse to special repayable contributions during the running-in period. This Article also refers to procedures for repaying these contributions. The members of Working Party IV agreed that these provisions, which are provisionally placed in an Article 42g, should appear in the transitional provisions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The delegations agreed to study this Article in more detail during their meeting in October.&lt;br /&gt;
