Section 63.11

This rule applies where the Comptroller— declines to deal with a question under section 8(7), 12(2), 37(8) or 61(5) of the 1977 Act; declines to deal with an application under section 40(5) of the 1977 Act; or certifies under section 72(7)(b) of the 1977 Act that the court should determine the question whether a patent should be revoked. Any person seeking the court’s determination of that question or application must start a claim for that purpose within 14 days of receiving notification of the Comptroller’s decision. A person who fails to start a claim within the time prescribed by rule 63.11(2) will be deemed to have abandoned the reference or application. A party may apply to the Comptroller or the court to extend the period for starting a claim prescribed by rule 63.11(2) even where the application is made after expiration of that period.
