Commonwealth Numbered Regulations

1995 No. 16 PATENTS REGULATIONS (AMENDMENT) - REG 45

45.1 In this regulation:

"original paragraph 5.8 (2) (a)" means paragraph 5.8 (2) (a) of the Patents
Regulations as that paragraph was in force immediately before the commencement
of these Regulations.

45.2 If, on the day on which subregulation 18.2 of these Regulations
commences, an opponent has already served on an applicant a copy of the
evidence in support of the opposition in accordance with the original
paragraph 5.8 (2) (a), then despite the amendment effected by subregulation
18.2 of these Regulations, the original paragraph 5.8 (2) (a) is taken to
apply for the purpose of working out the time for service of evidence in
answer to that evidence.
