Interview with Vietnamese examiners
As The IP Vietnam is open for discussion about the status and every matters of patent applications, our patent attorneys usually interview with examiners to have the suitable procedures for our client’s applications especially to discuss about the patentability and acceleration of applications.
As usual, before interviewing with the examiner in charge, we need to have evidence to prove that the claims meet novelty, inventive step and industrial applicability. Since then, we will prepare document in Vietnamese to be ready to send to the examiner.
Interview means: Telephone, email and meeting face to face.
Contents of interview: Amendment of applications to conform Vietnam Patent Law, explanation about information of the applications, explanation about contents of the response to office actions, etc..
