Where there is unintentional failure to claim priority at the time of filing, or where the priority claim is deemed not to have been made due to the filing date of the first patent application or the name of the country (or WTO member) not being specified, the applicant may, within 16 months after the earliest priority date, apply for reinstatement of the priority claim, pay the required fee (NT$2,000), and undertake the actions that should have been completed.

Please note that for a design application, the time period to apply for reinstatement of a priority claim should be 10 months from the earliest priority date.
