Re: 參酌它國審查意見不妥嗎？ - 專利

我不知道TIPO是怎麼想的
反正這麼不入流的審查方式快要被USTPO解決了

http://www.uspto.gov/news/pr/2010/10_24.jsp

For applications filed in the USPTO that are based on a prior foreign-filed
application, no action would be taken by the USPTO until the agency receives
a copy of the search report, if any, and first office action from the foreign
office as well as an appropriate reply to the foreign office action as if the
foreign office action was made in the application filed in the USPTO.
Following or concurrent with the submission of the foreign office action and
reply, the applicant may request prioritized examination or obtain processing
under the current procedure. This proposal would increase the efficiency of
the examination of these applications by avoiding or reducing duplication of
efforts by the office of first filing and the USPTO.

想抄USPTO的OA? 人家還等著要抄國外母案的審查報告勒

這辦法要是實施 也不用先申請甚麼台灣專利引用台灣優先權了
除非你每個案子都要多花錢request prioritized examination
反正TIPO不等外國先審查通過是審不出甚麼結果的

另外USPTO也和合作國家開始Patent Prosecution Highway program
TIPO顯然就等著被邊緣化而已了
