Amendment to Taiwan's Design Patent Examination Guidelines



Amendment to Taiwan's Design Patent Examination Guidelines

The Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) in Taiwan announced an amendment to "Volume 3–Design Patent Substantive Examination" of the Patent Examination Guidelines (hereinafter referred to as "Guidelines") on 29 September 2020.  The amended Guidelines will take effect on 1 November 2020.  The amendment mainly relaxes the disclosure requirements for a design patent specification and drawings, clearly stipulating that an architectural design and an interior design are eligible subject matter for a design patent, relaxing the requirements for filing a design divisional application, and amending the stipulation related to a graphic image design, among other changes.  The amended Guidelines would provide an applicant with a more flexible filing strategy.  Please refer to the attachment for detailed report.
