Proceedings for the grant of the patent shall be suspended at the written request of any person who furnishes proof that he has instituted before the judicial court an action claiming ownership of the patent application.
The suspension of proceedings shall take effect from the day on which the justification is provided; however, it shall not prevent the application of Article R. 612-39.
Proceedings for the grant of the patent shall be resumed as soon as the court’s decision has become res judicata; they may also be resumed at any time with the written consent of the person who brought the action claiming ownership of the patent application; such consent shall be irrevocable.
The suspension and resumption of proceedings shall be entered in the National Patent Register.
