7.5.2. Failure to observe a time limit
Where a time limit for filing the request for unitary effect is missed, see 2.4. For the legal remedies available if the time limit for filing the request for unitary effect is missed, see 2.6 and 7.7.1.
Re-establishment of rights may be available, for example, where the non-observance of a time limit is the direct cause of either the lapse of the Unitary Patent under Rule 14(1)(b) UPR or a loss of any other right or means of redress. For details, see 4.
Where a time limit is missed to rectify a deficiency in a request for registration of licences and other rights, the UPP Division will reject the request (see 6.4.3).
