Article R613-52 of the French Intellectual Property Code

The restoration remedies provided for in articles L. 612-16 and L. 612-16-1 shall be submitted to the Director General of the Institute by the holder of the deposit, who must be the holder entered in the National Patent Register if the deposit is published, or his representative.

The appeal shall be admissible only after payment of the prescribed fee.

The appeal shall be in writing. It shall state the facts and justifications relied on in support of it.

In the event of non-compliance with the appeal, the applicant is notified of this with reasons. The applicant is given a period in which to rectify the appeal or contest the Institute’s objections. If the appeal is not put in order or if no observations are made to remove the objection, it will be rejected. The notification may be accompanied by a proposal for rectification. This proposal is deemed to have been accepted if the applicant does not contest it within the time limit set.

The applicant is notified of the reasoned decision.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article R613-52

Les recours en restauration prévus aux articles L. 612-16 et L. 612-16-1 sont présentés au directeur général de l’institut par le titulaire du dépôt, qui doit être le titulaire inscrit au Registre national des brevets si le dépôt est publié, ou son mandataire.

Le recours n’est recevable qu’après paiement de la redevance prescrite.

Le recours est écrit. Il indique les faits et justifications invoqués à son appui.

En cas de non-conformité du recours, notification motivée en est faite au demandeur. Un délai lui est imparti pour régulariser le recours ou contester les objections de l’institut. A défaut de régularisation ou d’observation permettant de lever l’objection, le recours est rejeté. La notification peut être assortie d’une proposition de régularisation. Cette proposition est réputée acceptée si le demandeur ne la conteste pas dans le délai qui lui est imparti.

La décision motivée est notifiée au requérant.
