(PCT/ISA/237 - Box II) Priority 1. The following document has not yet been furnished: Attribute vakue: 1 = copy of the earlier application whose priority has been claimed (Rules 43bis.1 and 66.7(a)). 2 = translation of the earlier application whose priority has been claimed (Rules 43bis.1 and 66.7(b)). Consequently it has not been possible to consider the validity of the priority claim. This opinion has nevertheless been established on the assumption that the relevant date is the claimed priority date.

This opinion has been established as if no priority had been claimed due to the fact that the priority claim has been found invalid (Rules 43bis.1 and 64.1). Thus for the purposes of this opinion, the international filing date indicated above is considered to be the relevant date.

Article citations within a 'host' document After patent citations the most common citations are articles within serials (periodicals, magazines), books and electronic (eg. internet) sources. This is a very complex and varied area to standardise. The tag set below is drawn from a number of sources as is the order of the tags (which in any case can be changed depending on the stylesheet used).; The order of tags is that of WIPO ST.14 / ISO 690 layout. DROP, J.G. Integrated Circuit Personalization at the Module Level. IBM Tech. Dis. Bull. October 1974, Vol. 17, No. 5, p. 1344 and 1345.
