Where the applicant wishes to obtain a utility model registration on the basis of an international application, instead of a patent or in addition to a patent, or in the cases referred in Article 71, he must file a request for transformation and he shall pay a filing fee and a fee for examination of the formal requirements. The Office invites the applicant to pay the fees within one month from the filing day.
