Recently, Argentina released new Resolution INPI 364/2024, requiring patent applicants who have claimed priority to report whether it has been granted in the country of origin. The purpose of this resolution is to optimize the processing time of applications and thus expedite the resolution of those procedures in which the holders have a real interest.

The new provision establishes that holders of pending patent applications at the time of its entry into force, regardless of whether they have paid the substantive examination fee or the status of their application, must report within SIXTY (60) consecutive days whether the claimed priority has been granted in the country of origin, and the deadline will not be subject to automatic extensions. If no response is submitted within the indicated period, the application will be considered abandoned. After the deadline, the corresponding administrative act will be issued, which will be published in the Patent Bulletin.
