The Hon'ble Supreme Court vide order dated September 23, 2021 has taken note of the current COVID 19 situation in India being near normal, making it imminent to suspend the extension of limitation period issued vide order dated April 27, 2021.
Consequently, with respect to the calculation of fresh limitation period, the Hon'ble Supreme Court has passed the following directions:
In view of the above, if you have any cases with deadlines falling between March 15, 2020 till date, (such as PCT National phase deadline, convention application deadline, request for examination deadline, annuity deadline, Ofice Action response deadline, opposition/ counter-statement deadline, etc.), please contact us immediately and we will advise you with respect to the same.
With respect to the matters with upcoming (original) deadlines, we request you to kindly provide us with your instructions in a timely manner as per the original deadlines as the Supreme Court order is subject to interpretation by the Indian Patent Office (IPO) and the best practice would be to follow the original deadline. Meanwhile, as and when the IPO issues any orders to clarify the Supreme Court order, we will inform you immediately.
