c) Since China has joined the Budapest Treaty in July 1995, when a new
microorganism species is involved in a patent application, the new
microorganism species can be deposited in an international depository
institution designated by the Treaty.
A copy of receipt of deposit and the viability proof both issued by the
international depository institution shall be submitted either at the time
when filing the application or within three (3) months from the date of
filing the Chinese application.
d) According to the Chinese Patent Law, for patent application for invention, the
request for substantive examination shall be filed within three (3) years from
the date of filing/priority. Failure in making the request will cause the
application being deemed withdrawn.
e) Since the Chinese Patent Office accepts application documents only in
Chinese version, therefore, it is recommended that the filing documents be
forwarded to us two (2) weeks prior to the date by which the application must
be filed or the date on which the priority period expires so that we can have
sufficient time to prepare the Chinese application documents, including
translation. We also undertake the entrustment for filing urgent patent
application, for example, an application that has to be filed within three(3)
days or less. In this case, a certain urgent service fee will be charged.
