The ROC is not a member of the Budapest Treaty, and does not recognize the effects of deposits in a foreign depository. Even though the biological material concerned has been deposited in a foreign depositary, you still have to make a deposit in a domestic depository designated by TIPO. However, if you have made a deposit in an international depositary authority under the Budapest Treaty prior to the filing date, you can make the domestic deposit after the filing date if you can submit the certificate of deposits issued by the designated domestic depository and the foreign depository within a specified time.
