The Greater China IP Updates – March 2025

Taiwan Extends Trial Period for the Accelerated Examination Pilot Program for Design Patents by Two Years To provide more diverse and flexible examination options for design patent applications, the Taiwan Intellectual Property Office (TIPO) launched the Accelerated Examination Pilot Program for Design Patents in September, 2023. Initially set to run until December 31, 2024, the program has now been extended through December 31, 2026. The details of the program are as follows: Concerning the application timing, applicants may file for accelerated examination for design patents after receiving TIPO’s notification that the preliminary examination is about to begin and before receiving the first Office Action. Applicants must file electronically in accordance with TIPO’s regulations and provide relevant supporting documents. During the trial period, no application fee will be charged. About eligibility criteria, one way is to prove third-party commercial exploitation in the form of product catalogs, newspaper or magazine articles, and specify the third party’s details, the nature of the exploitation, and its starting date. Another criterion is via recognition by prestigious design awards. Applicants must provide certificates and evidence of the awarded design corresponding to the applicant’s name. Finally, another possibility is to prove that the design patent application is by a startup. Each startup is limited to three applications per year under this program. Eligible startups must be companies established less than eight years ago under the Company Act or the relevant foreign law. The establishment period is calculated from the company’s registration date to the design application date. If priority is claimed, the calculation is based on the earliest priority date.
