您好!
我想请教一下,有一个欧洲的外观专利,怎么才能查到该专利是否申请了PCT,以及该PCT是否进入了中国?
最近做了一个进入欧洲的外观,收到了代理的信件,信件说:
Furthermore, we have already received the official notification confirming that
the Community design application has been accepted for registration. We
enclose a copy of the official notification to this effect, which shows which
representations of the product we used for the desigh application.The application will be published shortly and will then proceed to registration.
上面有一点不明白,前面说申请已经被注册了,为什么后面又说公布后注册呢?这个外观注册后,是不是还要到各个国家登记呢,谢谢?
yuansenbopai说得对,PCT仅涵盖发明和实用新型。想来您可能是指欧洲外观要求外国优先权吧。
您的外国代理人信里说得是“has been accepted for registration”-可以登记,不是已经登记了。欧盟外观设计在欧盟范围内整体保护,不需要到各个国家单独注册。
