Detailed modification of the Patent Law by that of Law 13/2009
Article 8 of Law 13/2009, dated November 3, for reforming procedural legislation for incorporating the new Judicial Office (Official State Bulletin, number 266, dated November 4, 2009), has given a new version to section 2 of article 130 and to sections 1 and 2 of article 139 of Patent Law 11/1986, dated March 20.
The reform is in response to the need to adapt what's expressed in the rules to that of the new Judicial Office, to the extent that specific competencies previously attributed to the judge by the aforementioned articles, shall now be carried out by judicial officers. They specifically involve competencies related to:
- Notifying the applicant of the rejection for being informed of results on verifying deed proceedings that took place.
- Lifting cautionary measures, as a result of not presenting the primary case in the timeframe set forth in article 730.2 of Civil Prosecution Law 1/2000, dated January 7.
This modification will come into force six months after its publication in the Official State Bulletin, which took place last November 4 th; that is, on May 5, 2010.
