What are the procedures after patent authorization?
If the application for a patent for invention is not found to be rejected after the preliminary examination and substantive examination by the Patent Office, and if the application for a patent for utility model or design is not found to be rejected after the preliminary examination, the Patent Office will issue a Notice of Granting Patent Right and a Notice of Handling Registration Procedures to notify the applicant to handle the registration formalities. If the applicant goes through the registration formalities on schedule, the Patent Office will grant the patent right, issue a patent certificate (including the decision to grant the patent right) and announce it at the same time. The patent right shall take effect as of the date of announcement.
