Article R132-14 of the French Intellectual Property Code

In the event of non-compliance with an application for registration, the applicant will be notified and given reasons. The applicant is given two months to regularise the application or submit observations. In the absence of regularisation or observations allowing the objection to be removed, the application is rejected by decision of the Director General of the National Institute of Industrial Property.

The notification may be accompanied by a proposal for regularisation. In this case, the proposal is deemed to have been accepted if the applicant does not contest it within the two-month period allowed.

Article R132-14

En cas de non-conformité d’une demande d’inscription, notification motivée en est faite au demandeur. Un délai de deux mois lui est imparti pour régulariser sa demande ou présenter des observations. A défaut de régularisation ou d’observation permettant de lever l’objection, la demande est rejetée par décision du directeur général de l’Institut national de la propriété industrielle.

La notification peut être assortie d’une proposition de régularisation. Dans ce cas, cette proposition est réputée acceptée si le demandeur ne la conteste pas dans le délai de deux mois qui lui est imparti.
