(2)
if a date of filing a petty patent application under Clause 93 of this Part cannot be given because of deficiencies, other than non-payment of the fee, the Registrar must where practicable give the applicant an opportunity to correct the deficiency within one month of being notified by the Registrar. This one month period cannot be extended. If the deficiency is not remedied within one month the petty patent application is deemed withdrawn. The fee is not refunded; and
where the deficiencies are corrected within the one month period the date on which they are lodged so as to comply with the minimum requirements becomes the date of filing of the petty patent application.
