Section 19

Any application may be withdrawn by the applicant at any time before a grant of protection is made in respect of it.

The withdrawal of an application does not affect the applicant’s liability for any fees that may have become payable up to the date of that withdrawal.

Where any information, document or material required to be given to the Registrar or an Examiner under the provisions of this Act is not supplied within the period stated in the written notice issued by the Registrar or the Examiner (as the case may be) requiring the information, document or material, the application concerned lapses upon the end of that period.
