A Ministerial Decree No. 271/2010 issued on 31 October 2010, which will provide for various aspects of patent procedure, and should therefore result in the commencement of prosecution of patent applications which, to date, have been held in abeyance once they have been filed. We therefore understand that examination, publication and grant of patents will shortly commence, and also that annuity payments will now be necessary on our patent cases.
