TIPO has been promoting the Positive Patent Examination Pilot Program for Startup Companies in 2022, as the program shall terminate on December 31. To encourage more startups to participate in the program, TIPO relaxed the eligibility, allowing startups founded within 8 years to join. The revision replaces the original requirement that startups must be within 5 years of founding to join and comes into effect on January 1, 2023.

Reviews from startups who participated in the program this year (2022) are available on TIPO's YouTube Channel.
