IP glossary of terms

Failure by an applicant to meet certain deadlines set by the European Patent Office (EPO) in respect of a European patent application can be remedied by filing a request for further processing.
When it is available, a request for further processing effectively gives the applicant a two month extension of time. The omitted act (for example, the filing of a response to an examination report) must be completed within this period of time, and the request must be accompanied by the official fee for further processing.
