Can we speed up the examination and approval of Guangdong patent applications?
In the process of applying for a patent, many applicants will ask when the certificate will be issued after the patent application. As we all know, patent applications need to go through the examination process before submitting application materials and issuing certificates. Due to the large amount of examination and approval, it takes a long time to apply for a patent. Many people will ask, can we speed up the examination and approval of a patent application in Guangdong? Bian Xiao, Bajie Intellectual Property, will give you an answer. Can we speed up the examination and approval of Guangdong patent applications? Can we speed up the examination and approval of Guangdong patent applications? 1. Application for invention patent: Except for some invention patents that need to be kept confidential, general invention patents need to go through the stages of acceptance, preliminary examination, publication, actual examination and authorization announcement. Generally speaking, they will be published 18 months after acceptance, and then they will go through the actual patent examination stage. It usually takes about 3 years to get authorization, or even longer. In order to speed up the time limit for obtaining the patent right, we can apply for publicity in advance, so that it can be made public after passing the preliminary examination, and then enter the actual trial stage, which can speed up the progress of authorization. In addition, in some special circumstances, such as several cases stipulated in the Measures for the Administration of Patent Priority Examination, a request for speeding up the examination can be made. Finally, you can also choose emergency treatment. 2. Application for patent for utility model and design: it needs to go through the stages of acceptance, preliminary examination and authorization announcement. Because there is no need for substantive examination, the authorization time for utility models and designs is short, generally 6- 10 months. How long does it usually take to apply for a patent in Guangdong? If you send the application documents to the Patent Office, you will generally receive the acceptance notice from the China National Intellectual Property Administration Patent Office in about one month. Those who do not meet the acceptance conditions will receive a notice of rejection and a copy of the returned application documents. Because there are strict standards for writing patent application documents, if the applicant wants to be accepted quickly, he can entrust a patent agency. In the process of patent application, it takes time to draft patent documents, and the efficiency of each agency is different. If you cooperate well with the agency, the patent content is relatively simple, and it will only take a few days. Can we speed up the examination and approval of Guangdong patent applications?
