This law lets the Director excuse a design-patent applicant from missing a deadline connected to an international design application, if the applicant shows the delay was unintentional and pays any required fee.
If an applicant misses a deadline connected to an international design application*, the Director may excuse that failure — as far as it affects the United States* — if the applicant shows, to the Director's satisfaction, that the delay was unintentional. The Director can set conditions for this excuse, including requiring payment of the fee specified in section 41(a)(7).
An applicant’s failure to act within prescribed time limits in connection with requirements pertaining to an international design application* may be excused as to the United States* upon a showing satisfactory to the Director of unintentional delay and under such conditions, including a requirement for payment of the fee specified in section 41(a)(7), as may be prescribed by the Director.
