FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most common IP questions our clients ask.

How long does it take to get a patent approved?
In Taiwan, examination of an invention patent typically takes 12–24 months, a utility model about 6 months, and a design patent about 6–12 months. In major countries such as the US and Europe, examination typically takes 2–4 years. Applicants may request accelerated examination (prioritized examination) to shorten the waiting period. We will assess whether this option suits your business needs.
How long is trademark protection valid in Taiwan? Can it be renewed?
Trademark protection in Taiwan is valid for 10 years from the date of registration. Renewal can be applied for within 6 months before expiry, with each renewal granting another 10 years — and renewals can be made indefinitely. As long as the mark is in use and renewal fees are paid on time, your trademark rights remain valid permanently. We provide trademark expiry reminder services to ensure your rights are never interrupted by oversight.
Can a Taiwan patent protect me in other countries?
Patent protection is territorial — a Taiwan patent is only enforceable within Taiwan. To obtain protection in other countries, you must file separate applications in each jurisdiction. Through a PCT (Patent Cooperation Treaty) application, a single filing can secure priority rights in 150+ member countries, with 30 months to decide which countries to enter. We help you evaluate key markets and develop the most cost-effective overseas filing strategy.
What should I do if I discover someone is infringing my trademark?
Upon discovering trademark infringement, we recommend first gathering and preserving evidence (including sample infringing products, website screenshots, and sales records), then contacting us for a legal assessment. Common enforcement options include: sending a cease and desist letter, filing an administrative complaint with the IP Office, applying for customs border seizure, and initiating civil damage claims or criminal proceedings. We will recommend the most effective enforcement strategy based on the severity of the infringement.
Copyright exists automatically — do I still need to register it?
Under Taiwan's Copyright Act, copyright arises automatically upon completion of a work — no registration is required. However, the main benefit of formal registration is the creation of an official government record establishing the date of creation. In infringement disputes or litigation, the registration certificate serves as strong proof of ownership, significantly improving the success rate of enforcement actions. We recommend registering important commercial works, software, and design assets.
What are the approximate costs for engaging Yong Syu for IP services?
Costs vary depending on the type of IP, complexity of the matter, and country of filing — comprising both official government fees and professional service fees. Since each case has unique technical content and protection requirements, we recommend contacting us directly for a free initial consultation. After understanding your specific needs, we will provide a detailed cost estimate. Initial consultations are completely free — please call or email us to inquire.
