When should I provide a Chinese translation if I filed in a language other than Chinese? Can I make a request for an extension of the time period?
The Chinese translations of foreign language documents must be provided within 4 months for invention and design applications, and 2 months for utility model applications from the date of submitting the foreign language documents.
Prior to the expiration of the time period, the applicant may make a request for an extension. The total time period for submitting the Chinese translations may be extended up to 6 months from the date of submitting the foreign language documents.
