2.4 Do I need a representative, such as a patent attorney, to file my patent application?
A patent applicant who has a residence or business office in the territory of the ROC can undertake all procedural steps before TIPO and is not required to appoint a representative.
On the other hand, a patent applicant who has no residence or business office in the territory of the ROC must be represented by a professional representative, such as a patent attorney or patent agent, and act through them in all proceedings.
