INPI conducts formality and substantive examinations for invention patent applications. The applicant or relevant interested party shall file a request for substantive examination within 36 months from the filing date. The time limit for responding to the Office Action Notice is 90 days from the date of issuance of the notification and the examiner will generally request supporting documents for examination, including: reasons for refusal, search reports, and examination results of corresponding applications in other countries; relevant documents that are helpful for examination; a brief translation for priority documents etc. If the applicant fails to submit the documents by the deadline or the submitted documents do not meet the requirements, the application will be seemed to be withdrawn. In order to deal with the backlog of patent application cases, INPI launched a number of measures to speed up the examination process, one of which is to issue a "Preliminary Examination Opinion". INPI requires the applicant to amend the Claim so as to conformity with the granted claim made by other countries. (The application granted by EPO and USPTO will be considered first). Preliminary Examination Opinion will be issued automatically around 12 months from the date of request for examination, greatly speeding up the examination process.
