COLOMBIA

LA PRÁCTICA DE LA OFICINA DE PATENTES COLOMBIANA PARA LAS MODIFICACIONES, DIVISIONALES, CONVERSIONES DE SOLICITUDES Y FUSIONES

Mediante la Resolución 3719 de 2 de febrero de 2016, la Oficina de Patentes colombiana implementó una serie de medidas relacionadas con la forma en la que se puede dividir la materia de las solicitudes divisionales, el momento en el que se puede hacer, y otros aspectos sobre las modificaciones.

Se pueden presentar solicitudes divisionales hasta antes de que se profiera una decisión final, esto es hasta antes de la resolución que decide el recurso. Se entiende que inclusive con el recurso se puede presentar una divisional. Ahora bien, si hay un examen de fondo y como respuesta al mismo el cliente cancela reivindicaciones, podrá reservarse el derecho de presentar una divisional más adelante de estas reivindicaciones, siempre y cuando esté sustentada esa materia en la descripción.

No se pueden presentar solicitudes divisionales de solicitudes inicialmente fraccionadas. Si se desea presentar una divisional o se quiere hacer una modificación, con posterioridad al examen de fondo habrá que pagar nuevamente el examen de patentabilidad. Esto se puede hacer siempre y cuando no hayan transcurrido más de 18 meses desde la fecha de publicación de la solicitud.

Si la Oficina de Patentes colombiana hace una objeción para que se divida una solicitud y el solicitante no lo hace, la Oficina solamente estudiará el primer grupo inventivo que se identifique en la solicitud inicial.

A las solicitudes divisionales además de la tasa de solicitud habrá que pagarles examen de patentabilidad. Si se presenta la conversión de una solicitud de patente de invención a modelo de utilidad y esta se hace después de que ha vencido el plazo del pago de examen de patentabilidad para ese modelo, deberá pagarse además de la tasa de conversión de modalidad la tasa de examen de patentabilidad.

De igual forma funciona si la conversión se hace de modelo de utilidad a patente de invención. En cuanto a los exámenes de patentabilidad de las solicitudes o examen de fondo podrán expedirse más de uno y hasta dos pero estará supeditado a que el estudio de patentabilidad no sea superior a 18 meses.
