We should like to assure our clients, colleagues and friends that we are all in good health.
- We are open for new and existing business, we can meet your IP deadlines and our office is open for telephone enquiries.
Most of our staff are remote working in line with UK Government advice.
- This week the EPO extended deadline dates to 17 April 2020 and the EUIPO pushed back deadline dates to 1 May 2020 for time limits falling within 9 March 2020 and 30 April 2020. Currently UK deadlines have not been extended.
- It is worth bearing in mind that EPO fees are increasing by around 4-5% on 1 April 2020. You may want to file in March to beat the fee increases.
- Please do continue to send us your instructions, when requested, so that we can serve your requirements.
Thank you. In these unprecedented times, we wish you, your colleagues and families, good health.
