    If the international application has not been published in a Swiss official language, the date to be taken into consideration for the claim of damages is that on which the applicant communicated to the defendant a translation of the claims in a Swiss official language, or made the translation available to the public through the intermediary of the Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual Property (Law of 25 June 1954, as amended on 17 December 1976, Sec. 137 in relation with Sec. 112).

Within these two months, the omitted act must be completed, the reinstatement fee (refer to Annex CH.I) must be paid and a statement of the facts on which the request is based must be furnished.
