- When the
International registration is cancelled in whole or in part as the result
of a cancellation of the basic application or registration in an action
that began in the first five years after international registration, the
international registrant may "transform" its U.S. extension of
protection
IF
- The
Holder of the international registration files a TEAS request to transform
within 3 months of the date of cancellation of the international
registration
- Request
must include pertinent data and new application filing fee
- The new
U.S. application will retain the same filing date and same priority as the
prior extension of protection
- The
holder of the international application must claim and perfect a new basis
- If a
registered extension of protection is "transformed" it will be
put back into application status and given a new serial number
