Dear Members of the Madrid Team:

We are in receipt of a notice of irregularity issued on December 18, 2013 with respect to this extension
of protection. The WIPO reference No. is 7813467 and the IB Document ID is 774764201.

We believe that the notice of irregularity was issued in error, and we respectfully request that it be
withdrawn.

The description of the irregularity states that the notice of possible opposition was sent after the expiry
of the 18-month time limit referred to in Article 5(2)(b). However, on April 14, 2012, your office
transmitted a request for extension of protection to the USPTO, and on July 3, 2013, within the 18-
month period, your office was notified of the possibility of an opposition, and processed the notification
on August 29, 2013.

We would appreciate it if you would look into this matter and advise us whether the notice of
irregularity will be withdrawn.

Regards,

Denise M. DelGizzi, Technical Program Manager
