    The description, the claims, any text matter of drawings and the abstract of the international application must be in Swedish or English.
    A patent can also be granted in English. All patent documents may be furnished in Swedish or in English. However, a translation of the claims into Swedish is required where a patent in English is sought. The claims in English are considered to be the original claims.
    Other documents and correspondence may be in Swedish, Danish, Norwegian or English. However, the Office may abstain from requiring a translation or may accept a translation into a language other than Swedish, Danish, Norwegian or English of all documents which do not belong to the documents making up the international application (for instance, if the document is in French or German).

    SPL Sec. 31(3)
    If the translation of the international application has not been furnished by the applicant within the time limit applicable under PCT Article 22 or 39(1) but the national fee indicated in the Summary has been paid within that time limit, the translation can still be furnished within a further period of two months, provided that the additional fee for late furnishing of the translation, indicated in the Summary, has been paid within those two months.
    SE.04 TRANSLATION (CORRECTION)
    Errors in the translation of the international application can be corrected with reference to the text of the international application as filed (refer to National Phase, paragraphs 6.002 and 6.003).
    SE.05 TRANSLATION (IN CASE OF LACK OF UNITY OF INVENTION)
    Where a part of the international application was not subjected to an international search for reason of lack of unity of the invention, a translation is required only of those parts of the international application which were subjected to the international search. However, where the applicant wants to maintain the part which was not searched, a translation of this part must also be furnished. Also refer to paragraph SE.08.
    SE.06 FEES (MANNER OF PAYMENT)
    The manner of payment of the fees indicated in the Summary and in this Chapter is outlined in Annex SE.I.

    Where a part of the international application was not subjected to international search or preliminary examination because the international application did not comply with the requirement of unity of invention and the applicant did not pay the additional search or preliminary examination fee to the International Searching or Preliminary Examining Authority, the Office will decide whether the said finding as regards the application translated into Swedish was correct. If this is found to be the case, the Office will invite the applicant to pay an additional fee within two months after mailing the notification of this decision. The amount of the said fee is indicated in Annex SE.I. Where the applicant does not pay the additional fee, that part of the international application which was not subjected to international search or preliminary examination will be considered withdrawn.
    SE.09 GRANT FEE

Payment can still be made, together with a 20% surcharge for late payment, before the expiration of the sixth month after the month containing the anniversary of the international filing date. The amounts of the annual fees are indicated in Annex SE.I. It is to be noted that, where the 31-month time limit under PCT Article 39(1)(b) applies, annual fees can be paid without surcharge within two months after performing the acts for entering the national phase.

    SPL Sec. 72,
    SPL Sec. 73

    Reestablishment of rights may be requested where the applicant, in spite of all due care required by the circumstances, was unable to observe a time limit before the Office, default of which is prejudicial to his rights. A request for reestablishment must be presented in writing within two months after the removal of the cause of the failure to perform the action but not later than one year from the expiration of the time limit which has not been observed. Within the said two months, the omitted action must be completed, the fee for reestablishment of rights (refer to Annex SE.I) must be paid and the request must state the grounds on which it is based and set out the facts on which it relies.
    SE.15
    SPL Sec. 15
    Resumption of proceedings concerning the application may be requested from the Office where the applicant missed a time limit which has been fixed for a certain action by the Office. Resumption of proceedings may not be requested where the missed time limit is fixed in the PCT and the PCT Regulations. A request for resumption of proceedings has the effect that the proceedings for grant will be resumed, provided that, within four months from the expiration of the missed time limit, the said request is presented in writing, the resumption fee (refer to Annex SE.I) is paid and the omitted act has been completed.
