In order to avoid the patent application being deemed abandoned, Paulette must request the requisite examination prior to June 1, 2015. This means she must ask the CPO to review her application and determine whether or not it meets the requirements for patentability. If she fails to request the examination by this date, her application will be deemed abandoned and she will lose her chance to obtain a patent. Option A is incorrect because patent maintenance fees are not due until after the patent is granted. Option B is not relevant to this situation, as requesting a delay to test the invention is not a requirement for avoiding abandonment. Option D might be helpful for creating interest in the invention, but it does not have any impact on the application's status.
