INFORMATION FROM THE EPO
List of holidays observed by EPO filing offices and the national patent authorities in 2003
The UK Patent Office has informed us that, in addition to the list of holidays as published in OJ EPO 2003, 12, it will not be open either this year on Saturday, 27 December.
Thus, footnote 8 on page 15 in OJ 1/2003 is to be supplemented so as to read as follows:
"The United Kingdom Patent Office is open until 13.00 hrs on Saturdays for the receipt of European patent applications for which no priority is claimed, except on 19 April and 27 December 2003."
