5. Filing date
An application for an invention patent shall be filed with the Specific Patent Agency by the person entitled to applying for patent by submitting a request, a description, claim(s), an abstract, and the necessary drawing(s).
The filing date of an invention patent application shall be the date on which the request, description, claim(s), and the necessary drawing(s) are submitted in full. Where an applicant does not submit a description, claim(s) and the necessary drawing(s) in Chinese at the time of filing, but in a foreign language, and where the Chinese translation for the said documents is submitted within the time limit specified by the Specific Patent Agency, the filing date shall be the date on which the foreign language version were originally submitted.
Where the Chinese translation is not submitted within the specified time limit as stated in the preceding paragraph, the patent application shall be dismissed; however, if the Chinese translation is filed prior to the dismissal decision is received, the date on which the Chinese translation is filed shall be regarded as the filing date, and the foreign language version shall be deemed not having been submitted.
