| Human involvement | Green: AI drafts, lawyer checks |
| How AI is used | From the acceptance-publication date and any notice-of-intention date the lawyer enters, record in a fixed template the two-month date for a notice of intention to oppose and, if a notice of intention has been filed, the one-month date for the statement of grounds and particulars. Tag each date to regs 5.6 and 5.7 or, for an international registration, regs 17A.33 and 17A.34A. Do not decide whether a filing was in time. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer checks the publication date against the Official Journal or the register, checks the calculation, and diarises the dates. |

## Checking plan

**Lawyer review required**

The responsible lawyer reviews the work against the instructions, sources and intended use.

- What the AI does: From the acceptance-publication date and any notice-of-intention date the lawyer enters, record in a fixed template the two-month date for a notice of intention to oppose and, if a notice of intention has been filed, the one-month date for the statement of grounds and particulars. Tag each date to regs 5.6 and 5.7 or, for an international registration, regs 17A.33 and 17A.34A. Do not decide whether a filing was in time.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer checks the publication date against the Official Journal or the register, checks the calculation, and diarises the dates.
- Who reviews: Responsible lawyer with competence in the matter
- Basis: Practical workflow informed by the linked primary sources; the traffic light and working checks are editorial guidance, not a court classification.
- Why: The level reflects what the work is, the consequence of an error, and how much of the output the lawyer must independently re-derive.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Check the publication date against the register or the Journal, not against a diary note.
2. Count the months from the day of publication or the day the notice of intention was filed, as the regulations state.
3. Leave the one-month statement date blank until a notice of intention has actually been filed.

## Notes

- These are suggested working checks. Confirm the required checking with the responsible lawyer before work starts; the checking approach does not establish permission to use AI.
