TIPO Has Formally Implemented the Fast Track Examination Program

The Taiwan Intellectual Property Office formally implemented the Fast track Examination Program for trademark applications on May 1, 2021. One year ago, the program was begun on a trial basis. According to the data, up to the end of February, 2021, over 49,000 trademark applications, or roughly 60% of the trademark applications filed in this period were using the FTE program. Since this shows a high level of interest among applicants, it was decided to make the program permanent.
