Frequency

Once or twice a month (approx. every two weeks)

Application Period

Up to 10 days before the patent interview

2) International IPR Application

Process

Selection as a technology of excellence and technology with international patent application in the local patent evaluation report → In-depth patent interview → In-depth patent evaluation report (including decisions on the extent of support for international patenting) → Decision by the Intellectual Property Rights Review Committee upon the transference of the item for international application

Frequency

Once or twice a month

Application Period

Within nine months from the date of the local patent

    (Technological overview)

  • Patent evaluation
    report

    (Decision made on the provision of local support, as decided by the Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation Director or Intellectual Property Rights Review Committee)

    acquisition process

    (Official IPR organizations)

  • IPR technology
    review and statement

    (With the inventor)

Stage 2

    technology with international
    patent application

  • In-depth patent interview
    (Presentation evaluation)

  • In-depth patent
    evaluation report

  • Included in the
    Intellectual Property
    Rights Committee
    agenda

    (Decision on the extent of support for international patenting)

Support per Grade Point

Table on the extent of IPR support per grade point: Summarizes the standards, the extent of support, and other items per patent grade point
Patent Grade Standards Support Others
S Converted selection evaluation point ≥ 85 Support for local patenting, PCT, and one specific country All fees required for both local and international patenting
A Converted selection evaluation point ≥ 75 Support for local patenting and PCT or one specific country All fees required for local patenting; support provided only for the PCT or patenting process in the chosen country
B Converted selection evaluation point ≥ 65 Support for local patenting and PCT or one specific country All fees required for local patenting
C 65 ≥ Converted selection evaluation point ≥ 55 - No support
* IPR processes for purposes other than achievement records may have partial changes in the scope of support.

Patenting Notes

Patenting takes priority over paper publication or product release.

If the invention is revealed before the patent is acquired, patent registration cannot be made one year after the date of the reveal.

In such a case, the item is deemed “publicly unknown” (to be listed in the application) and filed as such.

If an identical invention is patented before the patent application, the invention may not be registered.

International patenting must be carried out within one year from the date of local patenting. If the invention is disclosed through an academic study (publication or presentation before local patenting), the invention cannot be patented in China and the European Union.
