Dear Colleagues:
 
We are writing to inform you that this year we will be celebrating the New Year from January 1 to January 4, 2015.  The Taiwan Intellectual Property Office as well as our firm will be closed during the said period.  All deadlines falling during the period will be automatically extended to January 5, 2015.  We will also resume normal business operation on January 5, 2015.  However, kindly note that December 27, 2014 (Sat.) will be a working day in Taiwan in observation of the extended holidays.  Any deadlines for Taiwan applications falling on December 27, 2014 will NOT be postponed.
 
Therefore, we would appreciate if all urgent cases and instructions are received no later than December 24, 2014.
 
We thank you for your support in 2014, and we look forward to strengthen our business relationship with you in the future.  Last but not least, we wish you a happy, healthy, and prosperous year of 2015.
