Application notice N244

To amend a patent under section 75 before the court, you need to complete court form Application Notice N244 (11Kb). We have made this available as a Rich Text Format (RTF) document to ensure it can be used with a wide range of word processing programmes.

Completing the form

You can complete court form N244 on line. You can then print it for submission in paper to the court.

Electronic signature

If you can send us the form N244 electronically, once you have completed it, you need to sign it.

You should use an electronic signature preferably in the form of a text string signature – a string of characters preceded and followed by a forward slash, for example, /your name/.

However we will also accept a facsimile signature in the form of a TIFF or JPEG image of your hand-written signature.

Saving the form

You can save the form N244 and any supporting documents in rtf format or in specific word processor file formats.
