Speed up of granting procedure of patent applications

Speed up of granting procedure of patent applications

It will be possible to speed up the granting procedure of Uruguayan patent applications for which a corresponding patent has been granted by the European Patent Office.

The Uruguayan claims must be adapted to the scope of the granted European claims and the applicant will have to justify the reason for speeding up the granting procedure. In such cases, the Uruguayan Patent Office would agree to speed up the granting procedure.For this reason we suggest filing the corresponding request in Uruguay as soon as a possitive examination report is received in Europe, trying at the same time to justify the urgency in obtaining the corresponding Uruguayan patent.
