Notes

1. IMPI generally issues the filing receipt within 5–10 business days.

2. Under the IMPI–USPTO Parallel Patent Grant initiative introduced on 7 December 2020, IMPI’s first examination action averages approximately 90 days.

3. Filing to grant takes approximately 3–5 years, and the maximum term is 20 years from filing.

4. If grant requirements cannot be met, conversion to a Mexican utility model or design may be requested within three months after the refusal notice, excluding a Final Office Action. Conversion begins a new examination cycle and incurs additional official and service fees quoted case by case.

5. All timeframes are subject to the authority’s actual examination progress; we make no guarantee regarding processing times.
