Payment of renewal fees in Lithuania - Corrigendum
In the brochure "National law relating to the EPC", Table VI, column 2, it was indicated that the due date for the payment of renewal fees in Lithuania was "the last day of the month in which the date of filing occurred."
The Lithuanian Patent Office has informed us, however, that the correct information is as follows:
"The due date for renewal fees is the last day of the preceding patent year (each patent year starting with the anniversary of the filing date). Renewal fees may be validly paid within a period of two months before the due date (see Art. 27 (4) LT Patent Act)."
Updating of the EPO information brochure "National law relating to the EPC"
Users of the EPO information brochure "National law relating to the EPC" (12th edition) are asked to make the appropriate amendments in Table VI, column 2.
