3  Transitional—applications for petty patents made before the commencement day may be converted to innovation patents or standard patents

(1) If, before the commencement day:
 (a) a person files a complete application in respect of a petty patent; and
 (b) a patent has not been accepted in respect of that application;
then, after that day, the person may convert the application, as provided for under subsection 104(2) of the old law.

(2) However, despite subsection 104(2) of the old law providing that the application may be for a standard patent or a petty patent, an application may only be made for a standard patent or an innovation patent.
