巴西专利局将专利快速程序扩展到所有技术领域
The new rules aim to simplify procedures for both the user and the INPI (BPO), and increase possible agreements that prioritize or process patents and record as examination steps, contributing to the execution of the process. On average, considering the patents analyzed via PPH in Brazil in 2019, the concession period is eight months, in some cases only one month.
新规则旨在简化用户和INPI (BPO)的程序,并增加可能的协议,优先考虑或处理专利,并将其记录为审查步骤,以促进流程的执行。平均而言,考虑到2019年通过PPH在巴西分析的专利,特许期为8个月,有些情况下只有一个月。
Now, with the change, these rules will be standardized for the agreements, observing the limit of 400 requests per year for the PPHs (one per month for each applicant) and the inclusion of all technical areas.
现在,随着变化,这些规则将被标准化,以满足每年400个PPHs请求(每个申请人每月一个)的限制,并包含所有技术领域。
Under PPH agreements, the examination of a patent application can be prioritized in Brazil when it has already been evaluated at a participating national / regional office of the agreement (China, Denmark, United States, Europe, Japan, PROSUR, and United Kingdom). In other hand, if an application has already been examined in Brazil, it may be issued in the other country with which the INPI has a PPH agreement.
根据PPH协议,如果专利申请已经在参与协议的国家/地区办事处(中国、丹麦、美国、欧洲、日本、PROSUR和英国)进行了审查,则可以将专利申请审查放在巴西的优先位置。另一方面,如果一项申请已经在巴西审查过,它可以在与INPI有PPH协议的其他国家发布。
Some requirements for the acceleration of patent applications in Brazil are: not having started the technical examination; belong to a patent family which oldest or priority application has been filed in one of the partner countries or in Brazil where a decision to grant or substantially approval has been issued.
巴西加速专利申请的一些要求是:尚未开始技术审查;属于一个专利系列,其最早或优先申请已在合作伙伴国家之一或其巴西申请已被作出批准或实质性批准决定。
