New policies for quake hit areas and relevant patent applications
Author: CopyFrom: hits: 102 UpdateTime: 2008-7-1 13:40:56 Editor:

New policies released by SIPO on June 4 provide preferential treatments to users from quake hit areas.  Those patent applications with technologies in quake rescue and relief will be put on a fast track of examination provided certain evidence certified by a provincial IP office are produced. 

The special treatments include the following.  Per the request of a party, new patent certificate will be issued to the organization or individual whose original certificate was lost or damaged due to the quake.  Other documents that could be redistributed under similar circumstances are all the office actions, copies of applications, all the documents during prosecution and evidences.  Qualifying parties requesting for fee reduction may only file a request without the need to furnish any evidence.  All the reductions will be given the maximum rate.  These policies will run until December 31, 2008.(by Wang Weiwei)
