Reinstatement of priority is accepted on grounds of "due care."

The SPO conducts formality examination and substantive examination of the invention patent, and publishes it after the formality examination is passed. The applicant needs to pay the substantive examination fee within 3 months after receiving the payment notice, and start the substantive examination. The duration depends on the complexity of the application.
