Default in the payment of the annual fees and penalties for more than twelve months renders the record of a patent liable to cancellation by the Registrar.
The resignation of a registered agent with respect to a patent shall cause the record of such patent to be cancelled unless the owner of such patent appoints a new registered agent within sixty days of the Registrar being notified of the registered agent's resignation.
The owner of a patent whose record in the Islands has been cancelled under subsection (1) or (2) may reapply for recording again as though it were being recorded for the first time in accordance with section 9.
No liability shall attach for any act performed or thing done by the Registrar under this section.
