【百一时讯】（双语）实时更新：各国知识产权办公室在冠状病毒危机后实施的措施
特立尼达和多巴哥知识产权局已宣布将停止在登记处各办公室收取现金。此举是由于疫情而鼓励用户使用登记处的在线支付服务。不过，在特定地点(西班牙港的财政部大楼)，仍可进行现金支付。登记处表示:“应该尽可能地避免现金支付。”
The Trinidad and Tobago IP Office has announced it is discontinuing the option for making payments via cash at the registry's various offices. The move, made due to the ongoing pandemic, is to encourage users to use the registry's online payment services. However, cash payments can still be made at one specific location (the Treasury Building in Port of Spain), with the registry stating: "Cash payments should be avoided if possible."
英国知识产权局(UKIPO)已将其“中断期”延长至至少2020年5月28日。此举意味着大多数商标、设计、专利和补充保护认证的截止日期都被归类为“中断日”，可被轻易延长。不过，一名UKIPO的代表补充说:“请尽可能继续在现有的期限内工作。”在业务无法正常进行的情况下，中断日将作为保障。
The UK IP Office (UKIPO) has extended its 'period of interruption' until at least 28 May 2020. The move means that most deadlines for trademarks, designs, patents, and supplementary protection certification are classed as 'interrupted days' and so can be easily extended. However, a UKIPO representative added: "Please continue to work to existing deadlines wherever possible. Interrupted days have been introduced as a safety net where the normal course of business is not possible."
秘鲁知识产权局（INDECOPI）宣布在线提交的文件“不再需要提交实物”。这一举措将持续到2020年12月31日，目前秘鲁正处于与冠状病毒相关的卫生紧急状态。以前，必须在提交电子文件后三天内提交实物文件。现在，通过电子方式发送的文件将以电子方式发送的日期作为接收日期。但有一些例外，比如身份检查文件。
The Peru IP Office (INDECOPI) has announced that documents submitted online "no longer need to be presented physically". The move, which will apply until 31 December 2020, is in the framework of Peru's ongoing state of sanitary emergency related to the coronavirus. Previously, documents had to be submitted physically within three days after an electronic submission. Now, documents sent by digital means will have as date of receipt the day that it was sent electronically. There are some exceptions, including identity checks.
拉脱维亚知识产权局（LRPV）已确认将免除与时限有关的某些费用，如续展或申请继续诉讼。LRPV主任Sandris Laganovskis表示：“如果申请人客观上受到了covid-19的限制，就有必要免除专利局相关服务的费用。这也适用于其他国家的权利所有人，届时拉脱维亚的紧急状态将被解除，但其他国家的紧急状态和限制将使其无法遵守规定的最后期限。”
The Latvian IP Office (LRPV) has confirmed that it will waive certain fees related to time limits, such as requests for renewals or continuation of proceedings. According LRPV director Sandris Laganovskis: "It is necessary to waive the fee for the relevant services of the Patent Office if the applicant is objectively affected by the restrictions of covid-19. This also applies to rights holders in other countries, when the state of emergency in Latvia will be lifted, but the emergency situations declared in these countries and the adopted restrictions will make it impossible to comply with the set deadlines."
