time limit, the patent will cease to have effect. However, a patent may be restored provided that
an application for restoration is made on Form 15 (see Annex IN.XIV) within 18 months from
the date of cessation (see paragraph IN.15). Where the patent is granted later than two years
after filing, the fees which have become due must be paid within three months of grant

PR Rule 6(6) The Controller may also excuse the delay in transmitting or resubmitting a document to the
Office or performing any act by a party, if a petition to excuse such a delay is made by the party
to the Controller along with a statement regarding the circumstances of the delay and evidence
in support of the statement. The evidence must, to the satisfaction of the Controller, show that
the delay was due to war, revolution, civil disorder, strike, natural calamity, a general
unavailability of electronic communication services or other like reason in the locality where the

request for restoration, he will publish the request for restoration in the prescribed manner, and

filing an opposition on Form 14 (see Annex IN.XIII). The Controller shall publish his decision
concerning restoration of a lapsed patent.
