You may request for an extension of time to
file the Counter-Statement by filing Form HC3 within 2 months after the date of receipt of the Notice of Opposition. [R 31(4)] You need to show a good and sufficient reason for the extension and indicate the name and address of every person likely to be affected by the extension.
You can file the form at our e-services portal,
IP2SG. At the same time, a copy of this form has to be served on the Opponent and each person likely to be affected by an extension of time. [R 31(4), (4A), (6)]
