How to correct the translation errors of international applications entering the national stage

China National Intellectual Property Administration's Patent Examination Guide (hereinafter referred to as the Guide) stipulates that for an international application that has entered the national phase, if the applicant himself finds that there is an error in the Chinese translation of the text in the submitted specification, patent claim or appended drawings, he may make a request for correction within the following time limit: (1) Before the Patent Office completes the national publication; (2) Within three months from the date of receiving the notification from the Patent Office that the application for a patent for invention has entered the substantive examination stage. The applicant shall submit a written request to correct the translation errors, and at the same time submit the correction page of the translation and pay the prescribed handling fee for correcting the translation errors; Failing to pay the fees as required, it shall be deemed that no request for correction has been made. If a written request is made and the required processing fee for correcting translation errors is paid, the examiner shall judge whether it belongs to the translation errors specified in the Guide. If it is not a translation error, the request to correct the translation error shall be rejected; If it is a translation error, it is necessary to verify whether the revised translation is correct. When the corrected translation is confirmed to be correct, it should be further reviewed on the basis of the corrected text; If the revised translation is still inconsistent with the original, the applicant shall be notified to submit a revised translation that is consistent with the original. For the case of filing a divisional application after entering the national phase, if the applicant finds errors in the translation of his original application in the substantive examination stage, the applicant can go through the formalities of correcting the translation errors, and correct the translation errors according to the international application text submitted by his original application when filing an international application; The examiner shall examine the revised translation in accordance with the above requirements.
