Resolutions 240 and 241/2019 published in Industrial Property Magazine nº 2531 of July 9, 2019 aim to reduce the delay in the examination of patent applications in Brazil. The merit exam will be more agile by publishing requirements 6.21 (requests with search and examination abroad) and 6.22 (requests without search and without examination abroad).
Failure to respond to such requirements within 90 days will result in automatic and definitive filing of the patent application.
Applications that meet the requirements will be reviewed. Third Party Observation (TPO) will be possible within the time limit provided by law (until the end of the examination), ie, until the decision to grant or rejection is published. #inpi # innovation #patents
