With patents there is an old English law that has what is called "relief from forfeiture" (for missing tax payments). The principle goes back to the Magna Carta. There also used to be some relief in getting non-patented claims back with a permission for late filing. The patented or leased claims may still have, in Ontario, a right to apply for relief for non payment of taxes. However there are new statues in Ontario disallowing any relief in the case of non patented claims vis a vis late filing of work. There may be some difference as I pointed out as the law does not apply to leased or patented claims per se in my understanding. This may be I believe, because it is a different government department that deals with patents and leases. EC<:-}
