2 The re­quest must be filed with­in two months of re­ceiv­ing no­tice of the ex­piry of the time lim­it, and at the latest with­in six months of ex­piry of the said time lim­it. With­in this time peri­od, the omit­ted act must be car­ried out in full and the fee for fur­ther pro­cessing paid.

3 If the IPI ac­cepts the re­quest for fur­ther pro­cessing, the situ­ation is re­stored to that which would have res­ul­ted from car­ry­ing out the act with­in the time lim­it.

4 Fur­ther pro­cessing is ex­cluded in the case of fail­ure to ob­serve the time lim­its:

a.
for fil­ing a re­quest for fur­ther pro­cessing;
b.
for claim­ing pri­or­ity.
