Some pct(Patent Cooperation Treaty) applicants rush to request the procedure just before the national phase deadline (30 Months from the priority date). Sometimes local patent attorneys refuse the request because it is too late.
However, even if you only have one month left, there are cases where you can make it in time, so please do not give up and contact local patent attorneys.
In Japan, you can submit the translation(from English to Japanese) within two months of the domestic document’s submission date to JPO(Japan Patent Office).
Therefore, you will have time to complete the translation if you submit the national phase document as soon as feasible.
Of course, this might not be enough time depending on the technical sector and page count.There can be an expeditious cost involved.
However, losing your valuable patents is a great loss. Therefore, please complete the domestic transfer procedure at an early stage.
Please contact us when you want to make a domestic transfer to Japan.
