(2) For the purposes of subsection (1), in the case of applications claiming priority, the period of eighteen months shall be construed from the original filing date and in the case of applications with two or more priority claims, the period shall be construed from the earliest priority date. (3) The publication of the patent application shall be effected by publishing the particulars set out in the regulations, in the Gazette and a newspaper of wide circulation. 30. International type search. (1) The registrar may direct that an application which is found in order as to form be the subject of an international-type search. (2) When a direction under subsection (1) is made, the registrar shall request the applicant to pay the prescribed fee; and if the applicant does not comply with the request, the application shall be rejected. (3) Upon receipt of the report on the international-type search, the registrar may request the applicant to furnish him or her with a copy of any document cited in the report, and if without lawful reason any copy is not furnished within the prescribed time limit, the registrar shall reject the application. (4) Where it is apparent from the report on the international-type search or from the declaration on the non-establishment of the report, that the subject of the application or of any claim or claims is not an invention, the registrar shall reject the defective application or consider the defective claim or claims to be withdrawn, as the case may be, unless the applicant satisfies the registrar that the subject of the application or claims constitutes an invention. 33
