If for reasons beyond the applicant’s control an application requesting convention priority could not have been filed within the period indicated, this period may be extended by the Patent Office, but by not more than two months. An applicant wishing to take advantage of the right of convention priority shall indicate this accordingly when the application is filed and/or submit the requisite materials not later than three months from application filing date with the Patent Office;

- 如果专利局在12个月内收到发明申请和实用新型申请，在6个月内收到工业品外观设计申请，则根据《保护工业产权巴黎公约》（公约优先权）另一缔约国首次申请的日期确定。如果由于申请人无法控制的原因，请求公约优先权的申请未能在指定期限内提交，专利局可延长这一期限，但不得超过两个月。希望利用公约优先权的申请人应在提交申请时相应表明这一点，和/或在不迟于申请提交日起三个月内向专利局提交所需的材料；

- according to the filing date of additional documents, where such documents are compiled by the applicant as a separate application which is filed prior to the expiry of a three-month period from the date of receipt by the applicant of notification from the Patent Office of the fact that the additional documents may not be taken into account in connection with the recognition that they change the essential features of the claimed invention;

- 根据附加文件的申请日，此类附加文件由申请人汇编为单独申请并在申请人收到专利局通知之日起三个月期限届满之前提交，而该通知内容为在确认附加文件更改了所要求保护的发明实质技术特征时不考虑附加文件；

- according to the filing date with the Patent Office of the earliest application of the same applicant, disclosing this industrial property subject matter, if the application, for which such priority is requested, was received not later than 12 months from the date of receipt of the earliest application for an invention and application for a utility model, and six months–from the earliest application for an industrial design. In that regard, the earliest application shall be considered to have been withdrawn.

- 根据同一申请人向专利局提交的公开该工业产权主题的最早申请日，如果请求该优先权的申请是在收到最早发明申请和实用新型申请之日起12个月内收到，且是在收到最早工业品外观设计申请之日起6个月内收到的。对此，最早的申请应视为已被撤回。

If in the process of a State examination, it is established that identical applications for the grant of a patent have one and the same priority date, the patent may be granted according to the application for which the earlier date of dispatch to the Patent Office has been proven and, where these dates coincide, for the application which has the earlier incoming Patent Office registration date.

如果在国家审查过程中，确定相同的专利授予申请具有相同的优先权日，则可以根据已证实较早发送至专利局的申请日期授予专利，如果日期一致，则可根据较早进入专利局注册日期的申请授予专利。

The priority of industrial property subject matter may not be established according to the date on which a withdrawn application for the grant of a patent was received, for which earlier priority has already been requested.

工业产权主题的优先权不能根据收到撤回的专利授予申请日期确定，因为之前已请求优先权。

The priority of industrial property subject matter according to a separate individual application for the grant of a patent shall be established as per the filing date with the Patent Office of the original application.

根据单独的专利授予申请，工业产权主题的优先权应按照原申请向专利局提交的日期确定。

Article 19. Conversion of applications

第19条 申请转换

An applicant shall be entitled to convert an application for an invention into an application for a utility model, and vice versa, prior to a decision being taken on the grant of a patent. In the case of such conversions, the priority of the first application shall be retained.

在作出授予专利的决定之前，申请人有权将发明申请转换为实用新型申请，反之亦然。若出现此类转换情况，应保留第一次申请的优先权。

An appropriate patent fee shall be paid for the conversion of applications.

转换申请应支付适当的专利费。

如果提交专利授予申请违反工业产权主题单一性要求，要求申请人应在收到相应请求之日起三个月内说明应审查的主题，并相应澄清申请文件。原始申请文件中的其他主题可以分开单独申请。申请人未说明应审查的主题且未提供澄清文件的，应对发明或者实用新型权利要求或者外观设计说明书中首先指明的主题进行国家审查。

Deadlines missed by an applicant for the submission of materials following a State examination request may be re-established by the Patent Office, provided that the causes of the unavoidable postponement of the established deadline are confirmed and the patent fee is paid.

The information contained in documents for applications for the grant of a patent shall be kept secret by the Patent Office, and details thereof shall not be supplied without the consent of the applicant or patent owner. The dissemination of the information contained in application documents, prior to official publication of information on the registration of industrial property subject matter, shall give rise to liability in accordance with the law.

专利局对专利授予申请文件中的信息保密，未经申请人或专利所有人同意，不得公开其详细信息。在正式公布工业产权主题注册信息之前，传播申请文件中包含的信息应依法承担责任。

Applications for the grant of a patent, accepted for consideration by the Patent Office, shall not be returned to applicants.

专利局受理的专利授予申请不得退回申请人。
