ASEAN Patent Examination Co-operation (ASPEC)
There are no translations available.

Singapore, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Lao PDR, Thailand, and Vietnam as ASEAN Member States have launched an ASEAN Patent Examination Co-operation (ASPEC) programme. It is the first regional patent cooperation programme.
 
The purpose of this programme is to share search and examination results between the participating offices to allow applicants in participating countries to obtain corresponding patents faster and more efficiently. The project will potentially reduce duplication for the search and examination work done, thereby saving time and effort. Additionally, search and examination work done on corresponding applications will serve as a useful reference in producing quality reports.
 
The programme commences on 15 June 2009.
