We note that you have prepared and sent us, an argument in response to the objections raised by the examiner. We also note your instructions not to study this argument at this time and to await for your further instructions.If you wish us to forward this argument as such, we will nevertheless make a light study thereof, for allowing to warn you if we consider that some argument are weak or irrelevant; the total cost for the transmission of the search report, for this light study of your argument, for the transmission of the reply to the European Office and for the report would be EUR 320.If you would like us to carry out an in-depth study of the patent application and of the search report (which cites six prior documents considered relevant), then it would probably take at least six or eight hours of work, so a cost of EUR 2000 or 2500.Given the time required to conduct such a study, it is necessary that your instructions reach us well in advance of the deadline for responding to the examiner's objections.We therefore look forward to hearing from you in this respect.
