Re-establishment of rights - (no): request for re-establishment of rights in respect of the time limit for paying the renewal fee not filed within two months of the removal of the cause of non-compliance
Exergue
If the appointed professional representative receives a communication of loss of rights due to the non-payment of fees, the cause of non-compliance with the period is removed pursuant to Rule 136(1), first sentence, EPC on the date of that actual receipt. This is also true where, as in the present case, that representative had been instructed by their client that all renewal matters would be handled by others: such an instruction alone is not a reason for the cause of non-compliance to persist despite the appointed professional representative's actual awareness of the non-compliance.
See point 5 of the Reasons.
