Article L614-6 of the French Intellectual Property Code

A European patent application may only be converted into a French patent application in the case provided for in Article 135-1 (a) of the Munich Convention.

In this case and on pain of rejection of his French patent application, the applicant must satisfy the conditions which are laid down by regulation.

If a search report has been drawn up before conversion of the application, this report takes the place of the search report provided for in Article L. 612-14.

Si un rapport de recherche a été établi avant transformation de la demande, ce rapport tient lieu de rapport de recherche prévu à l’article L. 612-14.
