A deposit account may also be debited on the basis of an automatic debit order signed by the account holder (automatic debiting procedure). Such an order may only be filed on behalf of the applicant or the patent proprietor or his representative and extends to all types of fees covered by the automatic debiting procedure and payable by him in respect of the proceedings specified in the automatic debit order. As the proceedings progress, each such fee is automatically debited and treated as having been paid in due time. The automatic debit order may not be restricted to specific types of fees. The Arrangements for the automatic debiting procedure (abbreviated to "AAD") plus explanatory notes are published in Supplement No. 2 to OJ 1/2005.
