    7.4.3.  Deficiencies

    If the request or evidence submitted for registration or cancellation of a licence or other right is found to be insufficient, the UPP Division will inform the party concerned accordingly and request of them to remedy the deficiencies found within a period to be specified. Failure to rectify the deficiency in time leads to refusal of the request.

    If there is a minor deficiency in a request for registration of a licence or other right, i.e. if all requirements were fulfilled but not completely (e.g. the request was signed but the name and/or position of the person signing were missing), the licence or other right will be registered – after rectification of the deficiency – with effect from the date of receipt of the original request for registration.
