Subpart 10A—Extension of term
Extension of term if unreasonable delay in granting patent
111A Requests for extension of patent if delay in granting patent (1) A patentee may, in the prescribed manner, request an extension of the term of
the patent if the patent is granted— (a) more than 5 years after the patent date; and (b) more than 3 years after the date on which the request for examination is
made under section 64.
Example A convention application is made on 1 December 2025, the request for examin- ation is made on 1 April 2029, and the patent is granted on 1 October 2031 with a patent date of 1 December 2025. No request for extension can be made because, although more than 5 years have passed since the patent date, the time between the request for examination and the grant of the patent is less than 3 years.
(2) The request may be made only— (a) during the term of the patent; and (b) within the prescribed time limit.
111B Grant of extension of patent on ground of unreasonable delay in granting patent
(1) The Commissioner must grant an extension of the term of a patent if the Com- missioner is satisfied that— (a) period A exceeds 5 years, where period A is the period between the
patent date and the date of grant of the patent minus the periods that must be disregarded under subsection (2); and
(b) period B exceeds 3 years, where period B is the period between the date that the request for examination is made under section 64 and the date of grant of the patent minus the periods that must be disregarded under sub- section (2).
(2) The Commissioner must disregard and subtract the following: (a) periods of time that are outside the direction or control of the Commis-
sioner; and (b) periods of time that are attributable to acts or omissions of all or any of
the following: (i) the applicant:
Part 7 s 75 Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-
Pacific Partnership Amendment Act 2018 Reprinted as at
29 October 2019
66
(ii) a person who opposes a proposed amendment to a complete speci- fication after acceptance of the complete specification under sec- tion 87:
(iii) a person who makes an assertion under section 90: (iv) a person who opposes the grant of a patent under section 92: (v) a person who requests re-examination under section 94: (vi) a person who opposes the restoration of a void or an abandoned
patent application under section 127: (vii) a person (other than the Commissioner) who initiates a hearing
under section 208: (viii) a person (other than the Commissioner) who makes an appeal to
the court or the Court of Appeal or the Supreme Court: (ix) an agent of any of the persons referred to in subparagraphs (i) to
(viii); and (c) periods of time that are attributable to directions in force under section
132. (3) The Governor-General may, by Order in Council, make regulations specifying
periods of time, not inconsistent with subsection (2), that must be disregarded for the purpose of this section.
(4) The term of the extension granted must be equal to the period that the Commis- sioner determines to be the shortest of the following periods: (a) the period by which period A exceeds 5 years: (b) the period by which period B exceeds 3 years: (c) 2 years.
Example A patent application is made on 1 December 2025, the complete specification is filed on 1 April 2026, the request for examination is made on 1 April 2029, and the patent is granted following opposition proceedings under section 92 on 1 October 2033 with a patent date of 1 April 2026. A request for extension can be made because the time between the patent date and the grant of the patent is more than 5 years and the time between the request for examination and the grant of the patent is more than 3 years. Six months of the process were attributable to the periods of time that are attribut- able to acts or omissions of the applicant in responding to examination reports under section 67. One year of the process was taken up with opposition to the grant of the patent. Of this, 6 months were attributable to acts or omissions of a person opposing the grant (including the time taken by the opponent to file a notice of opposition and to file evidence) and to acts or omissions of the patent applicant (including the time taken by the applicant to file a counter-statement and to file evidence). The other 6

Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans- Pacific Partnership Amendment Act 2018 Part 7 s 75
67
months of the opposition (including the time waiting for the opposition hearing and for the opposition decision) are not disregarded time. The term of the extension is 0.5 years, calculated as the shortest of the following periods: • 1.5 years, being the period by which 6.5 years (7.5-year interval between
1 April 2026 and 1 October 2033 minus 1 year) exceeds 5 years: • 0.5 years, being the period by which 3.5 years (4.5-year interval between
1 April 2029 and 1 October 2033 minus 1 year) exceeds 3 years: • 2 years.

111D Requests for extension of patent if unreasonable curtailment of effective patent term as result of marketing approval process
(1) A patentee may, in the prescribed manner, request an extension of the term of the patent if— (a) 1 or more pharmaceutical substances per se or biologics were disclosed
in the complete specification relating to the patent and were wholly within the scope of the claim or claims of that specification; and
(b) the patentee made a marketing approval application to distribute a prod- uct containing or consisting of a substance or biologic that is one of those referred to in paragraph (a) and marketing approval of that product has been granted; and
(c) that marketing approval is the first marketing approval for a product that contains or consists of any of the substances or biologics referred to in paragraph (a); and
(d) the term of the patent has not been previously extended under section 111E.
Example Company D is the owner of a patent for an invention that is a pharmaceutical sub- stance per se (not a product). The complete specification discloses and claims substances A, B, and C. Company D makes 3 applications for marketing approval on the same date: 1 for a product that contains substance A, 1 for a product that contains substance B, and 1 for a product that consists of substance C. The Regulator grants marketing approval first for the product that contains substance B. Company D can request an extension under this section for unreasonable curtail- ment of effective patent term as a result of the first marketing approval process for the invention, that is, for the product that contains substance B. The Commissioner cannot consider a request for extension of patent term that nominates substances A or C.
(2) The request may be made only— (a) during the term of the patent; and (b) within the prescribed time limit; and (c) if a certificate from the Regulator for the purpose of section 111F(2) is
filed within the prescribed time limit. Compare: Patents Act 1990 ss 70, 71 (Aust)

111E Grant of extension of patent on ground of unreasonable curtailment of effective patent term as result of marketing approval process The Commissioner must grant an extension of the term of a patent if the Com- missioner is satisfied, on the balance of probabilities, that— (a) there has been an unreasonable curtailment of the effective patent term
as a result of the marketing approval process; and (b) the requirements of section 111D are satisfied in relation to the request;
and (c) there is no opposition to the grant or, in spite of opposition, the Commis-
sioner’s decision, or the decision on appeal, is that the extension should be granted.
Compare: Patents Act 1990 ss 74, 76 (Aust)
111F What is unreasonable curtailment (1) In sections 111D to 111I, there is an unreasonable curtailment of the effective
patent term as a result of the marketing approval process if— (a) the marketing approval is obtained after the date on which the patent is
granted; and (b) period A exceeds 5 years in the case of a biologic and 3 years in the case
of any other pharmaceutical substance, where period A is the period between the date on which the marketing approval application is made and the date on which the marketing approval is notified in the Gazette minus the periods that must be disregarded under subsection (2).
(2) In making calculations under subsection (1)(b) and section 111G(b), the Com- missioner must disregard and subtract periods that are stated in the certificate from the Regulator to be periods of time that were outside the direction or con- trol of the Regulator.
(3) The Commissioner must rely on, and must not inquire into the accuracy of, the statements contained in the certificate.
Example An application for marketing approval is made in respect of a higher risk medicine on 1 April 2030 and marketing approval is notified 783 days later. That 783-day period is made up of 280 days taken by the applicant in responding to requests for information by the Regulator plus 503 days taken by the Regulator to process the application. There is no unreasonable curtailment, and a request for extension of patent term cannot be made because, if the application relates to a biologic, 503 days is less than 5 years and, if the application does not relate to a biologic, 503 days is less than 3 years.

111G Calculation of term of extension The term of an extension granted under section 111E must be equal to the period that the Commissioner determines to be the shortest of the following periods: (a) the period equivalent to the interval between the date of grant of the
patent and the date on which the marketing approval is notified in the Gazette:
(b) the period by which period A in section 111F(1)(b) exceeds 5 years in the case of a biologic and 3 years in the case of any other pharmaceutical substance:
(c) 2 years.
Example A convention application for a pharmaceutical substance other than a biologic is made on 1 April 2026, the request for examination is made on 1 April 2029, the application for marketing approval is made on 1 April 2030, the patent is granted on 1 October 2030 with a patent date of 1 April 2026 (so the patent term will expire on 1 April 2046), and marketing approval is notified on 1 April 2036. Two years of the marketing approval process is taken by the applicant in respond- ing to requests for information by the Regulator. The term of the extension is 1 year, calculated as the shortest of the following periods: • 5.5 years, being 1 October 2030 to 1 April 2036: • 1 year, being the period by which 4 years (6-year interval between 1 April
2030 and 1 April 2036 minus 2 years) exceeds 3 years: • 2 years.

use: (b) exploit any form of the invention for a therapeutic use other than the use
for which the marketing approval referred to in section 111D(1)(c) was granted.
