Headnote: If the President of the EPO extends time limits expiring during a period of general interruption in the delivery of mail in a Contracting State (Rule 85(2)EPC), a pending application for re-establishment of rights considered to have been lost during that period which has been made by a representative having his place of business within that State must be deemed to have been made without purpose ab initio even though the non-observance of the time limit was due to causes other than the interruption in the delivery of mail. Accordingly, it can be declared that no rights were lost and the fee for re-establishment of rights can be refunded.
