    [MT] 国家阶段的程序

    [MT] ZW.01 翻译(更正)
    ZPL Art. 54(1)(a)
    Errors in the translation of the international application can be corrected with reference to the text of the international application as filed (refer to National Phase, paragraphs NP 6.002 and NP 6.003).
    [MT] ZW.02 费用(支付方式)
    The manner of payment of the fees indicated in the Summary and in this Chapter is outlined in Annex ZW.I.
    [MT] ZW.03 对申请书的修正
    PCT 条约 28,
    PCT 条约 41,
    ZPL Art. 37

    The applicant may amend or correct the international application at any time up to the acceptance of the complete specification, provided that the scope of the subject matter of the application is not broadened thereby, and that the request is made in writing, states the nature of the amendment and the reasons for the amendment. The request should be accompanied by the prescribed fee (refer to Annex ZW.I). Requests for amendment of an accepted specification and its nature and reasons therefor must be published by the applicant in the Patent and Trade Marks Journal, and any person may notify the Registrar of opposition to the amendment within three months of that publication.
    ZW.04
    ZPL Art. 54,
    ZPR Art. 74,
    ZPR Art. 75

    The Registrar may also authorize the correction of any clerical error or omission or error in translation in any patent application or other document, amendment of any documents not otherwise provided for in the Patents Act or correction of any procedural irregularity relating to proceedings before the Registrar. Such corrections may be made upon request in writing accompanied by the prescribed fee (refer to Annex ZW.I) or without such a request.
    [MT] ZW.05 出版物
    ZPL Art. 16,
    ZPR Art. 24

    The applicant must publish a notice in the Patent and Trade Marks Journal upon acceptance of the complete specification by the Registrar, and the application form, specification and other documents are open to public inspection as of the date of publication of that notice.
    [MT] ZW.06 续展费
    ZPL Art. 27,
    ZPR Art. 37

    After a patent has been granted, renewal fees must be paid for maintaining the patent in force. The first renewal fee is payable for the third year following the international filing date. Payment of the annual fees for subsequent years must be made before the anniversary of the international filing date. The Registrar may, upon the request of the applicant and subject to the payment of an additional fee, extend the time for payment of the renewal fee for a period not exceeding six months. The amounts of the renewal fees are indicated in Annex ZW.I. No renewal fees are payable for the renewal of a patent of addition.
    [MT] ZW.07 会议时间限制延误的理由
    PCT 条约 24(2),
    PCT 条约 48(2),
    PCT 细则 82bis,
    ZPL Art. 28

    Reference is made to paragraphs NP 6.022 to NP 6.027 of the National Phase. Owners of patents which have lapsed due to failure to pay any renewal fee within the prescribed time limit may, within three years from the date on which the patent lapsed, apply in the prescribed manner to the Registrar for restoration of the lapsed patent. The request for restoration must contain a verified statement setting out the circumstances which led to the failure to pay the renewal fee. The Registrar may require the submission of additional evidence or may permit the applicant to have a hearing. Where the Registrar is satisfied that the failure to pay the renewal fee was unintentional and there was no undue delay in making the request for restoration, the request for restoration may be granted upon payment of the unpaid renewal fee and such additional fee as may be prescribed (refer to Annex ZW.I), and after providing for opposition to the request.
    [MT] ZW.08 根据PCT第25条进行的复审
    PCT 条约 25,
    PCT 细则 51,
    ZPL Art. 69,
    ZPL Art. 70,
    ZPL Art. 71,
    ZPL Art. 76

    The applicable procedure is outlined in paragraphs NP 6.018 to NP 6.021 of the National Phase. Where so provided in the Patents Act, applicants may appeal from decisions of the Registrar to the Patents Tribunal within three months after the date of the decision by the Registrar, or within such further time as the Patents Tribunal may allow.
    [MT] ZW.09 上诉
    ZPL Art. 74,
    ZPL Art. 76

    Any order or decision of the Patents Tribunal may be appealed to the Supreme Court within three months after the date of the decision by the Tribunal, or within such further time as the Patents Tribunal may allow.
    [MT] ZW.10 增加的专利
    PCT 细则 49bis.1(c),
    PCT 细则 76.5,
    ZPL Art. 26

    Any desire of the applicant to obtain, in Zimbabwe, on the basis of an international application, a patent of addition instead of a patent must have been indicated, for international applications filed before 1 January 2004, in the international application (in Box No. V of the request) when filed; for international applications filed on or after 1 January 2004, since the request form no longer provides for the furnishing of such an indication, the applicant, when performing the acts referred to in Article 22 or 39, shall so indicate to the Office.
