The description of the invention must explain the invention sufficiently clearly and

concisely highlight the technical designation of the invention and not include any imaginary
name.

were published or put into practice;

inventions so linked as to form a single general inventive concept.

could have been intended by the applicant.
The request for correction referred to in subparagraph 1 of this Article shall be
submitted in writing and shall include the changes proposed.
The entity responsible for industrial property must decide on the request for correction
within a time period of 15 days starting from the date on which the request was filed.

referred to in the first subparagraph of Article 58 below, the declaration of withdrawal shall
