UIPO: Extension of Time Limits - Türkiye and Syria
date: 2023-02-22

    The Executive Director has issued Decision EX-23-4 granting an extension of time limits to all parties in proceedings before the Office having their residence or registered office in Türkiye or Syria.

    

    It extends all time limits expiring between 6 February 2023 and 15 March inclusive until 16 March 2023.

    

    On 6 February 2023, an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.8 on the Richter scale occurred in Türkiye and Syria followed by at least two other major earthquakes. This natural disaster of unusual and exceptional magnitude has prevented parties in Türkiye and Syria from accessing the Office’s electronic systems and has rendered proper communication with the Office very problematic or impossible.

    

    In light of these devastating events and the extreme disruption it has caused, an extension has been granted in order to ensure that all parties are given a reasonable opportunity to respond to deadlines and other obligations before the Office.
