Introduction:
The National Patent System:
The national patent system requires the filing of individual patent
applications for each country for which patent protection is sought,
with the exception of the regional patent systems such as the African
Intellectual Property Organization (OAPI) system, the Harare Protocol
system established in the framework of the African Regional Industrial
Property Organization (ARIPO), the Eurasian patent system and the
European patent system.
Time:
Under the traditional Paris Convention route, the priority of an earlier application
can be claimed for applications filed subsequently in foreign countries but such
later applications must be filed within 12 months of the filing date of the earlier
application.
Difference between the national patent system and the regional patent systems:
The principal difference between the national patent system and the regional
patent systems such as those mentioned above is that a regional patent is granted
by one Patent Office for several States. Otherwise, the procedure is the same, and
the explanations given in the preceding two paragraphs are equally valid.
History:
Paris Convention
Utility Patents One year to foreign file from original filing date
Design Patents/Industrial Designs- Six months to foreign file from original filing
