Commonwealth Consolidated Regulations Commonwealth Consolidated Regulations(1) For paragraph 29B(4)(a) of the Act, the following particulars are prescribed in relation to a relevant basic application:
(a) the country in which the application was made;
(b) the number allocated to the application by the foreign patent office of the Convention country in which the application was made;
(c) the date the application was made.
(2) A reference to a country or a Convention country in subregulation (1) includes an intergovernmental authority to the extent that Rule 4.10 of the PCT permits for a PCT application.
