GL E VIII 1.3 Time limits which may be freely determined

Error message

Deprecated function: Using ${var} in strings is deprecated, use {$var} instead in include_once() (line 1445 of /home/patently/domains/xepc.eu/public_html/includes/bootstrap.inc).

Deprecated function: Optional parameter $type declared before required parameter $nid is implicitly treated as a required parameter in include_once() (line 1445 of /home/patently/domains/xepc.eu/public_html/includes/bootstrap.inc).

Time limits for operations in respect of which the setting of a time limit is not explicitly provided for in the EPC are not subject to the restrictions as to the duration of time limits laid down in Rule 132. They may be fixed by the EPO at its own discretion.
