# The Patents (Amendment) Rules 2011, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Rules)
These Rules amend the Patents Rules 2007 (SI 2007/3291) (as amended).
These Rules amend the various time periods prescribed in the rules set out in the Schedule to these Rules by substituting a reference to “beginning immediately after” for the references to “beginning with” so that when computing a period of time by reference to a relevant event, the date on which the relevant event occurred is not included.
A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen. An Explanatory Memorandum is available alongside the instrument on www.legislation.gov.uk
