Summary
A divisional application was filed out of time, after the end of the period ending three months before the compliance date. The applicant asked the comptroller to exercise discretion under rule 108 to extend the period for filing a divisional application. The hearing officer concluded that it was right to extend the period and allow the late-filing because a) the first examination report did not include the usual warning about the three month deadline, and b) the second examination report only referred to the grant deadline, when in fact the period for filing a divisional application expired earlier because of the three month deadline.
