The new edition of the 'Quick Patent' ('Patente
Rápida') program, aimed at Peruvian patent applicants,
was recently launched by the local PTO.
This program encourages the proper use of the local patent
system and minimizes the number of pending files with observations
on admissibility, form and substance. According to this new
edition, inventors and entrepreneurs can choose where they will get
trained and receive technical assistance.
Quick Patent increases the chances of obtaining a patent in
shorter terms than the regular procedure, 50 months on average to
18 months in the case of a patent, and 26 months to 12 months for
the case of utility model.
Through the decentralized counseling, inventors that were
selected to be trained can choose from the cities of Lima, Trujillo
and Arequipa to attend support workshops and learn how to prepare
the technical documentation related to the patent application.
