Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This 1912 transitional "save" preserves continuity for patent-attorney exams started under the 1909 Regulations when new 1912 Rules took effect. It lets the old Board of Examiners and its members continue to operate solely to complete those ongoing examinations and to grant or refuse certificates under the old rules. It protects candidates mid-process and prevents disruption or loss of qualification during the regulatory handover.
