In addition, R.5.1(a) RoP first sentence, requires that all proprietors or applicants of a patent or application must lodge the opt-out Application. This Rule is not surpassing the scope of Art. 83(3) UPCA, as this Article must be interpreted to mean that all proprietors of or all applicants for a European patent file the opt-out declaration. Otherwise, the opt-out is invalid.
