National Security Attention is drawn to the provisions of section 23 of the Patents Act 1977 which provides that no application for a patent for ANY invention may be made abroad by a person resident in the United Kingdom, without permission from the comptroller, unless application for a patent for the same invention has first been made in the United Kingdom, and six weeks have elapsed from the date of such application and no directions prohibiting publication or communication have been given or all such directions have been cancelled. Requests for permission from the comptroller to make an application abroad should be made even if for example such an application is required by contract with a foreign firm. Requests will be facilitated by explicitly addressing them “For attention in Room G.R70”. Normally the written authority required by section 23 will be posted from Newport on the same day that the request is received. If this degree of urgency does not suffice a telephone enquiry should first be made to +44(0)1633 813558.
24 November 2004 Patents and Designs Journal No. 6027 xi Regular Notices - cont Filing of Patents and Registered Designs Documents by Post Anything sent to the Patent Office under UK patents and registered designs law 1 by posting in the United Kingdom is deemed to have been filed when it would have been delivered in the ordinary course of post. In practice, this has generally meant that patents and registered designs documents sent through the Royal Mail could, if delayed, be given a filing date before their actual date of receipt. Supporting evidence is called for in some cases before the earlier date is granted. Schedule 8 of the Postal Services Act 2000, which came into force on 26 March 2001, makes clear that the use of the terms “post”, “registered post”, “recorded delivery”, and “first class post” in legislation cannot be limited only to services provided by what it calls “the Post Office company”. As a result, the Patent Office now recognises as “post” any items delivered to it by any commercial service which undertakes to deliver mail in exchange for a fee. It follows that patents and registered designs documents sent by such commercial services can, if delayed, be deemed to have been filed before the actual date of receipt. Enquiries about this notice, and requests for documents to be given a filing date earlier than the actual date of receipt, should be directed to Kerry Collings at the Patent Office Tel: +44(0)1633 814414 Fax: +44(0)1633 814444 e-mail: kerry.collings@patent.gov.uk 1 The Patents Act 1977, Rule 97 of the Patents Rules 1995; The Registered Designs Act 1949, Rule 7 of the Registered Designs Rules 1995.
