English translation:typo for CBE (Convention sur le brevet européen)
Explanation:
Hi Musilang, I think "CEB 1973" must be a typo for "CBE 1973" or the Convention sur le brevet européen (European Patent Convention) of 5 October 1973.

See, eg. the reference to "CBE 1973" here: https://www.epo.org/law-practice/legal-texts/epc_fr.html
