Do SPCs (supplementary protection certificates) exist in Chinese Taipei (TW)?
SPCs or supplementary protection certificates are known as “patent term extensions” in Chinese Taipei (TW). Such patent term extensions can be granted for invention patents covering pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, or processes preparing the same, if governmental approval is a requirement for commercialisation of the patented invention. The patent holder may apply for an extension of the patent term for two to five years. Only one extension is possible. If this does not answer your question, please specify your request.
