Australian standard patents are similar to China's invention patents, with a protection period of 20 years and a wide range of protection topics. In addition to the fields that can usually be protected, the treatment of human diseases, new uses of known drugs, commercial methods, etc. Can be protected. Although Australia has certain restrictions on the subject of patent protection, these restrictions are relatively open.
In addition, Australia also has a temporary application system, which is basically similar to the United States. The main purpose is to apply for the priority date as soon as possible. In the future, you need to submit a formal application within 12 months to obtain patent protection.
