25 Jun UKIPO Interrupted Days to end
The UKIPO has declared that its “interrupted days” period will end on 29 July 2020. The first non-interrupted day, therefore, will commence on 30 July 2020 when all normal operations will resume. The UK IPO has stated that it is working to put measures in place to ease burdens on businesses following the end of the “interrupted days” period. This includes seeking parliamentary approval in order to temporarily remove the fees for extension requests. Details of these measures will be announced shortly. This follows previous announcements on 27 March 2020 and 7 May 2020 where the UK IPO declared that 24 March 2020 and subsequent days were to be “interrupted days” until further notice. This means that any deadlines which fall on an “interrupted day” will be extended to the next non-interrupted day.
