Provisions of Law

Article 45

Once the application enters the Department, a preliminary examination shall be carried out to check that the documents stipulated in Article 43 have been attached. If any error or omission is detected in the preliminary examination, the interested party shall be informed so that he/she can make the corrections, clarifications or attach the relevant documents within 60 days, without losing the priority date. If the errors or omissions are not rectified within that time, the application shall be considered as not filed.

Applications that do not comply with any other processing requirement, within the periods established by this Law or its Regulations, shall be considered as abandoned and shall be shelved. Without prejudice to the foregoing, the applicant may request that the application be reopened, provided that he/she rectifies the processing requirements within the 125 days following the date of abandonment, without losing the right to priority. If this period ends without the errors or omissions having been rectified, the application shall be considered permanently abandoned.

When the examination of an application for an industrial property right reveals that the right claimed corresponds to another category, it shall be analyzed and processed as such, and the priority acquired conserved.

Article 46

Applicants for patents that have already been applied for abroad shall present the result of the search and the examination carried out by the foreign office, if they have been carried out, regardless of whether they resulted in the granting of the patent.

Article 47

All of the supporting material relating to a patent application shall be kept in the Department at the disposal of the public, following the publication referred to in Article 4.
