巴西专利商标局 (BPTO) 提高 PPH 请求数量上限

巴西专利商标局 (BPTO) 发布了第 26 号法令,宣布可以通过 PPH 程序加快巴西专利申请的审批速度,目前每三个月的审批数量上限为 800 件。

因此,自 2025 年 1 月 1 日起、2025 年 4 月 1 日起、2025 年 7 月 1 日起和 2025 年 10 月 1 日起,将分别加快审批 800 件申请,总计每年最多可审批 3200 件 PPH 请求。

同一法令还规定,主要分类为 IPC H04(电通信技术)的申请将无法通过自 2025 年 1 月 1 日起的第一批PPH来请求加速程序。BPTO 将每三个月审查一次该计划,以确定哪些具体分类可能被排除在 PPH 请求之外。
