This agreement will be implemented in the framework of a Pilot Program conducted until the end of 2022. At that point, the Pilot Program may either be extended or confirmed.<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"MtRtXsMRrsQu\">In essence, the FPO-JPO PPH should lead to <strong><span style=\"color: #013ca6;\">efficient sharing of work product<\/span><\/strong> and should result in <span style=\"color: #013ca6;\"><strong>faster and more cost-effective examination procedures<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"MtRtXsMRrsQu\">This is particularly important, noting that Japanese applicants rank 2nd among non-domestic applicants for French patent applications, whereas French applicants rank 6th among non-domestic applicants for Japanese patent applications.<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"MtRtXsMRrsQu\">The PPH is available for a French patent application claiming the priority of a Japanese patent application or a PCT application having matured into a Japanese national phase. So far, no PPH agreements have been signed between the FPO and any other patent office.<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"MtRtXsMRrsQu\">The PPH request is available as long as substantial examination of the French patent application has not started. The FPO recommends filing the PPH<span style=\"color: #013ca6;\"><strong> request within 12 months from filing the French patent application<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"MtRtXsMRrsQu\">Together, with the PPH request, the following elements are requested:<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"MtRtXsMRrsQu\"><strong><span style=\"color: #013ca6;\">1<\/span> <\/strong>&#8211; a claim correspondence table or a statement that the claims filed in France are identical to the Japanese claims deemed allowable (mandatory),<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"MtRtXsMRrsQu\"><span style=\"color: #013ca6;\"><strong>2 <\/strong><\/span>&#8211; copies of Japanese office actions relevant to substantial examination for patentability,<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"MtRtXsMRrsQu\"><span style=\"color: #013ca6;\"><strong>3<\/strong><\/span> &#8211; translation (into English or French) of such office actions,<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"MtRtXsMRrsQu\"><span style=\"color: #013ca6;\"><strong>4<\/strong><\/span> &#8211; copies of all claims determined to be patentable by the JPO,<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"MtRtXsMRrsQu\"><span style=\"color: #013ca6;\"><strong>5<\/strong><\/span> &#8211; translation of such claims (into English or French);<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"MtRtXsMRrsQu\"><span style=\"color: #013ca6;\"><strong>6<\/strong><\/span> &#8211; copies of the references cited by the JPO (if other than patent literature).<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"MtRtXsMRrsQu\">If elements 2 to 5 are available via the JPO electronic file (<a href=\"http:\/\/xh4uh.mjt.lu\/lnk\/AUEAAFSz6kgAAAAAAAAAACVGF_wAAAAAwsIAAAAAABRUuQBf-FxCT8Qf1siRRUmCBvinFRm6HQAUMcs\/2\/h7fx6POTAHwLKrVRRAjlQw\/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuai1wbGF0cGF0LmlucGl0LmdvLmpwLw\">https:\/\/www.j-platpat.inpit.go.jp\/<\/a>), it is possible to merely invite the FPO to retrieve these elements.<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"MtRtXsMRrsQu\">If the PPH request is found admissible, examination of the French patent application would be expedited.<\/p>\n<p>In combination with implementation of the PACTE law, which provides an opposition procedure for granted French patents and a more thorough examination, implementation of the FPO-JPO PPH is <span style=\"color: #013ca6;\"><strong>a further decisive cornerstone in the construction of a more efficient, cost-effective and user-oriented French patent system<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"btn\" href=\"mailto:contact@bdl-ip.com\">CONTACT AN EXPERT <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The French patent office (FPO) and the Japanese patent  [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[315],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8454","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ip-news-zh-hans"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
