What is the last deadline for filing a divisional application?

In Russia: A divisional application may be filed any time if on its filing date the parent application has not been withdrawn or is not considered to have been withdrawn, and its filing date is accorded prior to the date of registration of the Russian patent for the parent application or, where a refusal decision has been taken on the parent application – before the possibility for appeal has been exhausted.

 

In Eurasia: A divisional application may be filed any time if on its filing date the parent application has not been withdrawn or is not considered to have been withdrawn, and its filing date is accorded prior to the date of registration of the Eurasian patent for the parent application or, where a refusal decision has been taken on the parent application – before the possibility for appeal has been exhausted.  If the parent application is considered withdrawn and the time limit for filing a request for restoration has not expired, a divisional application may be filed only after the restoration of this parent application.
