To enable eligible startup companies that have received national awards or participated in TIPO-sponsored programs to obtain patents within four months of application, thereby strengthening their competitive edge in the industry, TIPO has revised the "Positive Patent Examination Pilot Program for Startup Companies." The eligibility criteria have been expanded from startups established for less than eight years to also include companies with innovative R&D capabilities that have received national awards within the past two years and companies guided by organizations commissioned by TIPO. The revised program took effect on January 1, 2025.
