The right to the Eurasian patent lost by non-payment of maintenance fees may be reestablished on the request of the patent owner, filed prior to the expiry of a 3-year period, starting from the date of expiry of the period for payment of the maintenance fees which are due. Within the said time limits, the omitted act must be completed, the fee for re-establishment of rights (refer to Annex EA.I) must be paid and the request must state the grounds on which it is based and must set out the facts on which it relies.
