Requirements
a) Power of Attorney from the Applicant:
Notarial attestation and Consular legalization are necessary, unless signed in a country party to the Hague Convention of 1961, in which case, the "Apostille" will suffice. A single Power of Attorney will serve for any number of applications, unless restricted to a particular case. Forms will be furnished on request. We have 40 working days, counting from the application date, to receive a Power of Attorney. If there is any doubt as to whether the document will reach us on time, we should be advised before then, that the Power has been executed and notarized. This will enable us to ratify the application within the due term.
b) Specification and Claims:
If sent in Spanish, they should be in duplicate and on (Din A4) size paper (210 x 297 mm with upper and left-hand marginal spaces of 40 mm and lower and right-hand marginal spaces of 20 and 10 mm).
If sent for translation by us, one plain copy is enough.
c) Drawings, if any:
Two copies on "Bristol-type" board, and two on plain white paper, free of legends in a language other than Spanish. Size should be 210 x 297 mm with a 10 mm marginal space free on all sides. Application can be filed with informal drawings: formal drawings must be filed within 90 days.
d) Priority Document:
For applications claiming Convention priority, it must be filed within 90 days of the application together with a Spanish translation certified by a local Public Translator. If the priority document sent to us is written in a language other than English, French, German, Portuguese, or Italian, please also send an English translation, certified by a translator and legalized.
e) Assignment of Priority Rights:
When the applicant(s) in Argentina is (are) different from the applicant(s) (exactly as shown on the priority document) of the priority application(s), it is necessary to file within 90 days, either a simply signed original assignment(s) or a copy of the original assignment of the priority application(s). This copy of the original assignment of the priority application(s) must be certified by the Patent Office where it is recorded, or notarized and legalized either by way of the Apostille in all countries that are party to the Hague Convention of 1961, or up to an Argentine Consulate if no Apostille is available.
All terms mentioned above are non-extendible terms.
