Accelerated Examination of Patents. Good idea? Bad?
I haven’t reviewed this topic enough to form an opinion one way or another (as to how it would benefit/harm MY clients)…yet. However, if you’d like to learn more:
The United States Patent & Trademark Office [USPTO] invites you to participate in a special web announcement on Thursday, November 2nd at 2 p.m. Eastern / 11 a.m. Pacific on the USPTO's revised Accelerated Examination [AE] program.
If you have already enrolled, thank you and we look forward to your attendance on November 2nd.
As of August 25th, 2006, the USPTO has established procedures under which the examination of a patent application may be accelerated, leading to a final decision by the examiner within 12 months from the application filing date.
To learn more about the new Accelerated Examination Program, and the specific requirements to participate in it, please register for this free online event by clicking on the following link:
