The request for compensation for the loss caused by the extension of the prohibitions on disclosure and free exploitation is sent by the owner of the patent application to the Minister of Defence by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt.

The matter may not be referred to the court with a view to fixing the compensation before the expiry of a period of four months from the date of receipt of the request, except in the event that an express decision has been reached during the said period.
