Regulation 47

At any time not less than 2 months but not more than 3 months before each anniversary of the date of the grant of protection (called in this rule the anniversary date), the Registrar must send a written notice to the grantee at the grantee’s address for service, notifying the grantee that the anniversary date is approaching.

For the purposes of section 24(3) of the Act, the prescribed period starts at the beginning of 3 months before the anniversary date and ends at the end of 6 months after the anniversary date.

If the grantee pays the annual fee within the period of 6 months after the anniversary date as described in paragraph (2), the grantee must pay the late fee set out in the Second Schedule.

Payment of the annual fee and any late fee must be made to the Registry together with Form PVP 11.
