Patent Application Encyclopedia

INAPI conducts formal and substantive examinations of designs. After completing the formality examination, the applicant must extract the extract and publish it in the Official Gazette by INAPI within 60 working days. Any interested party can file an opposition to the patent application within 45 days after publication. Within 60 days after the end of the opposition period, no matter whether there is an opposition or not, the substantive examination fee must be paid and the payment voucher must be submitted to the Chilean Patent Office. A design that can be registered in Chile can be two-dimensional, three-dimensional or an overall appearance consisting of registrable outlines, colors, shapes, textures, design materials, decorations, packaging, graphic symbols, and typography.

UIBM conducts substantive examination for the first application, and does not conduct substantive examination for applications with priority that are not submitted for the first time. The applicant can request to disclose in advance, so that the official can enter the actual examination process in advance. The applicant shall pay the official fee for the application fee at the same time on the day of filing, and obtain the official fee receipt accordingly, otherwise the filing date will be the date of payment of the fee; the European Patent Office conducts a prior art search and issues a search report and written opinion. If the written opinion contains an opposition, the response shall be submitted to the Italian Patent Office for examination.
