Any dependent claim which refers to more than one other claim (“multiple depen- dent claim”) shall refer to such claims in the alterna- tive only. Multiple dependent claims shall not serve as a basis for any other multiple dependent claim. Where the national law of the national Office acting as Inter- national Searching Authority does not allow multiple dependent claims to be drafted in a manner different from that provided for in the preceding two sentences, failure to use that manner of claiming may result in an indication under Article 17(2)(b) in the international search report. Failure to use the said manner of claim- ing shall have no effect in a designated State if the manner of claiming actually used satisfies the national law of that State.
