„Fast Track – Patentanmeldungen“ beim ÖPA – 1. Mitteilung wird nicht mehr verschickt

Das Österreichische Patentamt hat uns mitgeteilt, dass ab sofort bei den „Fast Track – Patentanmeldungen“ keine 1. Mitteilung mehr versendet wird.

Diese Mitteilungen waren anfangs dafür gedacht, dass die Anmelder:innen Bescheid bekommen, dass das ÖPA die „Fast Track – Patentanmeldungen“ zur Kenntnis genommen hat und bemüht ist, die 4 Monatsfrist einzuhalten.

Da sich dieses System laut Patentamt gut eingespielt hat, sind diese Mitteilungen nicht mehr notwendig.

Bei Fragen können Sie sich gerne an Herrn Hannes Raumauf (hannes.raumauf@patentamt.at) wenden.
