Practice question: Ownership, Registration, and Duration

Multiple Choice Medium

Practice question

A right holder files a renewal request eight months before expiry and relies only on Section 146.2's ordinary pre-expiration window. Is that timing within the stated statutory window?
  1. Yes; every filing before expiry necessarily falls within six months.
  2. No; because every renewal must wait until after expiry.
  3. Yes; the ten-year term automatically waives every timing rule.
  4. No; eight months before expiry precedes the six-month window.
  5. Yes; only the date of first product sale matters.
