Release Time：2024-07-05 10:34Author：Views：178

To continuously provide applicants with efficient and convenient PPH services, the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA) has reached agreements with the Icelandic Intellectual Property Office (ISIPO) and the Egyptian Patent Office to extend the PPH pilot programs for another five years, both starting from July 1, 2024, and ending on June 30, 2029. Specially, the address of the ISIPO headquarters has been updated in the China-Iceland PPH Guidelines, while the rest of the content remains unchanged and will continue to apply to the China-Iceland PPH pilot program. The requirements and procedures of the China-Egypt PPH pilot program will continue to follow the established China-Egypt PPH Guidelines.

The extension of these two PPH pilot programs will accelerate the patent examination process for innovative entities, thereby better serving technological innovation and economic development. It will also further promote exchanges and cooperation in the field of intellectual property between China and Iceland, as well as China and Egypt.
