Thu, 28/05/2020 - 15:12
Please be informed that the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) will not extend time limits beyond the 18th May 2020. Therefore, all time limits due between March 9th 2020 and May 18th 2020 will be considered as finalized on May 18th 2020.
On the other hand, the European Patent Office (EPO) will extend further all time limits due on or after March 15th 2020 until June 2nd 2020.
Finally, as from June 1st 2020 all deadlines vis-à-vis the Spanish Patent & Trade Mark Office (SPTO) due on or after March 14th 2020 will be resumed and recalculated by adding the equivalent period of time for which they were suspended.
