Time node of file security review

If it is submitted together with the patent application, the notice of passing the general confidentiality review will be submitted together with the notice of acceptance, which will take about 1 to 3 working days; It will take 1 2 weeks to receive the overdue payment.

For those who apply directly to the outside world, the notice of passing the confidentiality review can be said to be relatively long among these methods. Because it is a paper submission, in general, notice will be received 1 month after submission; According to the provisions of 6. 1.2 of the Patent Examination Guide, if you do not receive the notice of applying for patent confidentiality examination in a foreign country within four or six months at the latest after submitting the request for confidentiality examination, you can apply for a patent for this technical scheme in a foreign country.

For those who directly submit international applications to the China Patent Office, they can generally enter the specific national stage after receiving the acceptance notice (PCT/RO 105 form).
