- OJ 2006, 92 -

Under Rule 85(1) EPC time limits expiring on a day on which at least one of the filing offices of the EPO is not open for receipt of documents are extended until the first day thereafter on which all the filing offices are open for receipt of documents (see also the Notice from the President of the EPO dated 16 June 2005, OJ EPO 2005, 477).

2.	Under Rule 85(3) EPC the provisions of Rule 85(1) EPC apply also to time limits provided for in the EPC within which transactions are carried out with the central industrial property office or other competent authority of the contracting state.

...

4.	It is expected that the competent national authorities will fix, during 2006, further days on which the patent authorities of the contracting states are closed. Attention should therefore be paid to corresponding notices in the relevant national publications.
