Expert Commentary

Request to withdraw protective letters X wants to withdraw protective letters which it filed in accordance with R. 207 RoP Registrar grants the request. Comment A protective letter filed with the Registrar will be removed from the Register after 6 months unless an extension is applied for (R. 207.9 RoP). However, nothing in the Rules explicitly addresses an earlier withdrawal of the letter. It seems logical that this should be permitted and that the Registrar has the power to grant such a request. This is comparable to the task of the registrar with respect to the opt-out and withdrawal of an opt-out (see also R. 3 RoP).
