Lo anterior es importante por cuanto anteriormente no se aceptaban solicitudes divisionales que fuesen presentadas por iniciativa del solicitante (solamente en respuesta a una sugerencia por parte del examinador en el examen de fondo) y porque se estaba expidiendo un único examen de patentabilidad.
