Note that the innovation patent system has been phased out.
Innovation applications must have a date of patent before 26 August 2021 . This can be achieved by:
the innovation patent application being a divisional application where the parent application has a date of patent before 26 August 2021;
the innovation patent application being a divisional application where the parent application is a granted innovation patent; or
converting any standard application that has a date of patent before 26 August 2021 to an innovation application before acceptance.
In addition, every claim in an innovation patent must have a priority date that is before 26 August 2021 .
