Furthermore, an applicant with neither residency nor principal place of business in the territory of the Czech Republic must be represented by a patent attorney.
The period for filing the translation is 3 months after the date on which the mention of the grant or the decision to maintain the patent as amended is published in the European Patent Bulletin.
Extension of the time limit is possible. Submission of the translation of the European patent specification within the supplementary period is also possible.
