3.5 Cited mark to lapse
Up one level
When the applicant states in its request for extension of time that a trade mark raised as a citation is currently at expired but restorable status and it will lapse shortly, IPONZ will accept this as a persuasive reason for exercising the Commissioner’s discretion to grant an extension of time.
Once IPONZ confirms that this is correct, the applicant will be granted an extension of time until one month after the cited mark is due to become expired.
