Question 10 of 20

observe a time limit

According to Article 82(1) EUTMR, any party to proceedings before the Office that has omitted to observe a time limit vis-à-vis the Office may, upon request, obtain the continuation of proceedings, provided that at the time the request is made the omitted act has been carried out.
If an appellant is unable to observe one of these deadlines, the only option available is to submit an application for the re-establishment of rights (known as an application for restitutio in integrum), provided that the requirements for submitting such an application are fulfilled. That is to say, the person concerned must prove that all due care required by the circumstances was taken in order to observe the deadlines; the application for restitutio must be filed within two months of the removal of the cause of non-compliance with the time limit, the omitted act must be completed within this period and the corresponding EUR 200 fee must be paid.
