Act 3 Industrial Property Act 2014 (2) Where the international search report which relates to one or some of the claims due to the applicant’s refusal to pay additional fees, those parts of the international application which consequently have not been searched shall be considered withdrawn unless the applicant divides out from the application as provided for in section 23(2) the parts concerned or satisfies the registrar that the request to pay the additional fees was not justified. (3) Where an international preliminary examination report with respect to an international application has been communicated to the registrar, the following provisions shall apply— (a) where, in the case of lack of compliance with the requirements of unity of invention, the international preliminary examination report indicates that the international preliminary examination was carried out on restricted claims, or was carried out on the main invention only, those parts of the international preliminary examination shall be considered withdrawn unless the applicant divides the application into divisional appplications in accordance with as provided for in section 23(2) in parts concerned or satisfies the registrar that the invitation of the international preliminary examining authority was not justified; and (b) where the international preliminary examination report states, with respect to the entire international application or one or some of its claims only, the opinion that a defect under article 34(4) (a) of the Patent Cooperation Treaty exists under the international application or the claim or claims, as the case may be, the application shall be considered withdrawn unless the applicant satisfies the registrar that the defects do not exist. (4) The registrar may refuse to grant a patent if it is apparent from an international search report or an international preliminary examination report that the invention which is claimed in an international application does not fulfill the requirements of novelty, inventive step, industrial applicability, or required disclosure unless the applicant either satisfies the registrar that the requirements have been fulfilled or amends the claims in such a way that fulfils the requirements. 38
