In yet another update, we are pleased to share the information
that the Egypt Patent office will now accept patent
applications without any late fees for applications
which has the deadline from March 25, 2020 until June 25,
2020. The patent application must be accompanied with a
'letter of request' from the Applicant clearly stating the
genuine reason of late filing – which can include the current
situation of lockdown, curfew in the Applicant's country and
such.
The said notification was issued under Decision No. (98) for the
year 2020 and is in effect, immediately.
We hope this step taken by the authorities in Egypt will help
Applicants who were not able to meet the statutory requirements for
filing patent application due to COVID-19.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general
guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought
