When is the deadline for defence to the counterclaim for revocation (with any reply to the statement of defence and any application to amend the patent)?
The catalogue records a 2 months period from Service of a Statement of defence which includes a Counterclaim for revocation. This draft page remains free only until its source, worked example and limits are reviewed.
In preparation
The existing catalogue does not yet have a registered adapter or source evidence for this exact question. It remains available as a public preparation page only.
Example pending review
A separately reviewed fixture is required before this question can become indexable. The page does not present an unreviewed output as an example.
Calculation basis and source
- Period
- 2 months
- Trigger
- Service of a Statement of defence which includes a Counterclaim for revocation
- Counting
- The encoded calculator method must be independently documented before publication.
- Rollovers and holidays
- Holiday, closure and order treatment must be independently documented before publication.
This route remains in preparation until a pinpoint official source is recorded.
- This is the single most important claimant-side date in a bifurcation-risk case: the Application to amend the patent (auxiliary requests) must be filed with it, and any later request to amend needs the Court's permission (Rule 30.2). Where the claimant is not the proprietor, references to the claimant include the proprietor (Rule 29(f)).
