Patent Prosecution Highway Pilot Program between the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the Austrian Patent Office |
Patent Prosecution Highway Pilot Program between the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the Austrian Patent Office |
The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is establishing a 2010-2015 Strategic Plan to transform the USPTO into a more quality-focused, highly productive, responsive organization supporting a market-driven intellectual property system. One of the specific action items of the 2010-2015 Strategic Plan is to share search results with other intellectual property offices. By relying on the search results obtained via partnerships with other intellectual property offices, the USPTO can reduce duplication of efforts and decrease workload.
From July 2006 to January 2008, the USPTO partnered with the Japan Patent Office (JPO) to establish the first Patent Prosecution Highway pilot program (PPH). The PPH leverages accelerated examination procedures already available in both offices to allow applicants in both offices to obtain corresponding patents faster and more efficiently. The PPH also permits each office to benefit from the work previously done by the other office, in turn helping to reduce workload and improve patent quality. The USPTO and the JPO began full implementation of the PPH program on January 4, 2008.
The USPTO commenced a PPH pilot program with the Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO) on January 28, 2008. The pilot program ended on January 28, 2009, and full implementation of the PPH program began on January 29, 2009.
USPTO has also commenced separate PPH pilot programs with the United Kingdom Intellectual Property Office (UK IPO), the Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO), IP Australia (IPAU), the European Patent Office (EPO), the Danish Patent and Trademark Office (DKPTO), the Intellectual Property Office of Singapore (IPOS), the German Patent and Trade Mark Office (DPMA), the National Board of Patents and Registration of Finland (NBPR), the Hungarian Patent Office (HPO), the Russian Patent Office (Rospatent), and the Spanish Patent and Trademark Office (SPTO) based on the same or similar framework as the PPH between the USPTO and JPO.
Following on these partnerships, the USPTO and the Austrian Patent Office (APO) have agreed to launch a PPH pilot program similar to the PPH pilot programs noted above.
The PPH was established to enable an applicant whose claims are determined to be allowable/patentable in the Office of first filing (OFF) to have the corresponding application filed in the Office of second filing (OSF) advanced out of turn for examination while at the same time allowing the OSF to exploit the search and examination results of the OFF.
Where the USPTO is the OFF and the U.S. application contains claims that are determined to be allowable/patentable, the applicant may request accelerated examination at APO for the corresponding application filed with APO as the OSF. The procedures and requirements for filing a request with APO for participation in the PPH pilot program will be available on October 1, 2010, from the APO Web site at: http://www.patentamt.at/Erfindungsschutz/Formulare_und_Gebuehren/
Where the USPTO is the OSF and the corresponding application filed with APO as the OFF contains claims that are determined to be allowable/patentable, the applicant may request participation in the PPH pilot program in the USPTO and request that the U.S. application be advanced out of turn for examination by order of the Director to expedite the business of the Office under 37 CFR 1.102(a). Note that the procedures for a petition to make special under the accelerated examination program set forth in MPEP 708.02(a) do NOT apply to a request for expedited examination by order of the Director to expedite the business of the Office under 37 CFR 1.102(a). The procedures and requirements for filing a request in the USPTO for participation in the PPH pilot program are set forth below.
The PPH pilot program will commence on October 1, 2010, for a period of one year ending on September 30, 2011. The trial period may be extended for up to an additional year if necessary to adequately assess the feasibility of the PPH program. The USPTO and APO will evaluate the results of the pilot program to determine whether and how the program should be fully implemented after the trial period. The Offices may also terminate the PPH pilot program early if the volume of participation exceeds a manageable level, or for any other reason. Notice will be published if the PPH pilot program will be terminated before the September 30, 2011 date.
In order to be eligible to participate in the PPH pilot program, the following conditions must be met:
(1) The U.S. application is
(a) a Paris Convention application which either
|
|||||||
or | |||||||
(b) a national stage application under the PCT (an application which entered the national stage in the U.S. from a PCT international application after compliance with 35 U.S.C. 371), which PCT application
|
|||||||
or | |||||||
(c) a so-called bypass application filed under 35 U.S.C. 111(a) which validly claims benefit under 35 U.S.C. 120 to a PCT application, which PCT application
|
Examples of U.S. applications that fall under requirement (1) are:
(1)(a)(i):
- US application with single Paris Convention priority claim to an application filed in Austria (AT)
- US application with multiple Paris Convention priority claims to AT applications
- Paris route and domestic priority
- Paris route and divisional application
(1)(a)(ii):
- US application claims Paris Convention priority to a PCT application
* DO Designated Office
(1)(b)(i):
- US application is a national stage of a PCT application which claims Paris Convention priority to an AT application
- PCT Route
(1)(b)(ii):
- US application is a national stage of a PCT application which claims Paris Convention priority to another PCT application
- Direct PCT and PCT Route
(1)(b)(iii):
- US application is a national stage of a PCT application without priority claim
(1)(c)(i):
- US application is a 111(a) bypass of a PCT application which claims Paris Convention priority to an AT application
(1)(c)(ii):
- US application is a 111(a) bypass of a PCT application which claims Paris Convention priority to another PCT application
(1)(c)(iii):
- US application is a 111(a) bypass of a PCT application which contains no priority claim
The AT application whose claims are determined to be allowable/patentable does not have to be the application for which priority is claimed in the USPTO application (the basic application). The AT application can be an application explicitly derived from the basic application, e.g., a divisional application of the basic application. Note that where the AT application that contains the allowable/patentable claims is not the same application for which priority is claimed in the U.S. application, applicant must identify the relationship between the AT application that contains the allowable/patentable claims and the AT priority application claimed in the U.S. application (e.g., AT application X that contains the allowable/patentable claims is a divisional application of AT application Y, which is the priority application claimed in the U.S. application).
Provisional applications, plant applications, design applications, reissue applications, reexamination proceedings, and applications subject to a secrecy order are excluded and not subject to participation in the PPH.
(2) The AT application(s) have at least one claim that was determined by the APO to be allowable/patentable. Applicant must submit a copy of the allowable/patentable claims from the AT application(s) along with an English translation thereof and a statement that the English translation is accurate if the claims are not in the English language. If the APO Office action does not explicitly state that a particular claim is allowable, applicant must include a statement in the request for participation in the PPH pilot program or in the transmittal letter accompanying the request for participation that no rejection has been made in the APO Office action regarding that claim, and therefore, the claim is deemed allowable by the APO.
(3) All the claims in each U.S. application for which a request for participation in the PPH pilot program is made must sufficiently correspond to or be amended to sufficiently correspond to the allowable/patentable claims in the AT application(s). Claims will be considered to sufficiently correspond where, accounting for differences due to translations and claim format requirements, the claims are of the same or similar scope. Applicant is also required to submit a claims correspondence table in English. The claims correspondence table must indicate how all the claims in the U.S. application correspond to the allowable/patentable claims in the AT application(s).
(4) Examination of the U.S. application for which participation in the PPH pilot program is requested has not begun.
(5) Applicant must file a request for participation in the PPH pilot program and a request that the U.S. application be advanced out of turn for examination by order of the Director to expedite the business of the Office under 37 CFR 1.102(a). A sample request form (PTO/SB/20AT) will be available from the USPTO Web site at http://www.uspto.gov on October 1, 2010. Applicants are encouraged to use the USPTO request form. A petition fee under 37 CFR 1.17(h) is NOT required. See Notice Regarding the Elimination of the Fee for Petitions To Make Special Filed Under the Patent Prosecution Highway (PPH) Programs, 75 FR 29312 (May 25, 2010).
(6) Applicant must submit a copy of all the Office actions (which are relevant to patentability) from each of the AT application(s) containing the allowable/patentable claims that are the basis for the request, along with an English translation thereof and a statement that the English translation is accurate if the Office actions are not in the English language. In addition, applicant must submit copies of any Office actions (which are relevant to patentability) from the AT application(s) issued after the grant of the request for participation in the PPH pilot program in the USPTO (especially where APO might have reversed a prior holding of allowability).
(7) Applicant must submit an information disclosure statement (IDS) listing the documents cited by the APO examiner in the APO Office action (unless such an IDS has already been filed in the U.S. application). Applicant must submit copies of all the documents cited in the APO Office action (unless the copies have already been filed in the U.S. application) except U.S. patents or U.S. patent application publications.
The request for participation in the PPH pilot program and all the supporting documents must be submitted to the USPTO via EFS-Web and indexed with the following document description: "Petition to make special under Patent Pros Hwy." Information regarding EFS-Web is available at http://www.uspto.gov/ebc/efs_help.html. Any preliminary amendments and IDS submitted with the PPH documents must be separately indexed as a preliminary amendment and IDS, respectively.
Where the request for participation in the PPH pilot program and special status are granted, applicant will be notified and the U.S. application will be advanced out of turn for examination. In those instances where the request for participation in the PPH pilot program does not meet all the requirements set forth above, applicant will be notified and the defects in the request will be identified. Applicant will be given one opportunity to perfect the request in a renewed request for participation (which must be submitted via EFS-Web and indexed accordingly as noted above). Note that action on the application by the examiner will NOT be suspended (37 CFR 1.103) awaiting a reply by the applicant to perfect the request in a renewed request for participation. That is, if the application is picked up for examination by the examiner after applicant has been notified of the defects in the request, any renewed request will be dismissed. If the renewed request is perfected and examination has not begun, the request and special status will be granted, applicant will be notified and the U.S. application will be advanced out of turn for examination. If not perfected, applicant will be notified and the application will await action in its regular turn.
(8) Request for participation in the PPH pilot program and special status granted in a parent application will not carry over to a continuing application. Applicant must fulfill all the conditions set forth above in order for special status to be granted in the continuing application.
If any of the documents identified in items (2), (6) and (7) above have already been filed in the U.S. application prior to the request for participation in the PPH pilot program, it will not be necessary for applicant to resubmit these documents with the request for participation. Applicant may simply refer to these documents and indicate in the request for participation in the PPH pilot program when these documents were previously filed in the U.S. application.
Once the request for participation in the PPH pilot program and special status have been granted to the U.S. application, the U.S. application will be taken up for examination by the U.S. examiner before all other categories of applications except those clearly in condition for allowance, those with set time limits, such as examiner’s answers, and those that have been granted special status for "accelerated examination."
Any claims amended or added after the grant of the request for participation in the PPH pilot program must sufficiently correspond to one or more allowable/patentable claims in the AT application(s). Applicant is required to submit a claims correspondence table along with the amendment (see B.(3) above). If the amended or newly added claims do not sufficiently correspond to the allowable/patentable claims in the AT application(s), the amendment will not be entered and will be treated as a non-responsive reply.
The PPH program does not absolve applicants of all their duties under 37 CFR 1.56 and 37 CFR 11.18. By complying with requirements B.(6) and (7) identified above, applicants would be considered to have complied with their duties to bring to the attention of the USPTO any material prior art cited in the corresponding foreign application(s) (see MPEP § 2001.06(a)). Applicants still have a duty of candor and good faith, including providing to the USPTO other information known to them to be material to patentability.
Any inquiries concerning this notice may be directed to Magdalen Greenlief, Office of the Associate Commissioner for Patent Examination Policy, at 571-272-8140 or at magdalen.greenlief@uspto.gov.

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and the Austrian Patent Office (APO) have agreed to commence a Patent Prosecution Highway (PPH) pilot program on October 1, 2010. Under the PPH pilot program, an applicant receiving a determination from the APO that at least one claim in an application filed in Austria is allowable/patentable may request that a corresponding application filed in the USPTO be accorded special status and be advanced out of turn for examination. The PPH pilot program is limited to the utilization of search and examination results of national applications between cross filings under the Paris Convention.
In order to expand the potential of the PPH pilot program, the USPTO recently implemented a new PPH pilot program with our Trilateral partners (the European Patent Office (EPO) and the Japan Patent Office (JPO)) and the Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO), based on Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) work products (PCT-PPH pilot program). The USPTO had discussions with the APO to launch a PCT-PPH pilot program similar to the PCT-PPH pilot programs between the USPTO and EPO, between the USPTO and JPO, and between the USPTO and KIPO. The USPTO and APO agreed that consistency between PCT-PPH pilot programs should be maintained to the extent possible, to avoid creating burdens on applicants and offices, and to ensure maximum work-sharing potential.
The PCT-PPH pilot program was established to enable an applicant, who has received
(1) a Written Opinion from an International Searching Authority (WO/ISA) (ISA must be the APO or the USPTO), or
(2) a Written Opinion from an International Preliminary Examining Authority (WO/IPEA) (IPEA must be the APO or the USPTO), or
(3) an International Preliminary Examination Report (IPER) from an International Preliminary Examining Authority (IPEA must be the APO or the USPTO), that indicates at least one claim in the PCT application has novelty, inventive step and industrial applicability, to file a request to participate in the PCT-PPH pilot program in a corresponding U.S. application and petition to make the U.S. application special under the PCT-PPH pilot program. Note that the procedures for a petition to make special under the accelerated examination program set forth in MPEP 708.02(a) do NOT apply to a petition to make special under the PCT-PPH pilot program. The procedures and requirements for filing a request in the USPTO for participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program are set forth below.
USPTO and APO agreed that the PCT-PPH pilot program will commence on October 1, 2010, for a period of one year ending on September 30, 2011. The trial period may be extended if necessary until the USPTO and the APO receive a sufficient number of PCT-PPH requests to adequately assess the feasibility of the PCT-PPH pilot program. The USPTO and the APO may also terminate the PCT-PPH pilot program early if the volume of participation exceeds a manageable level, or for any other reasons. Notice will be published if the PCT-PPH pilot program will be terminated before the September 30, 2011 date.
In order to be eligible to participate in the PCT-PPH pilot program, the following conditions must be met:
(1) The relationship between the corresponding U.S. application for which participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program is requested and the PCT application satisfies one of the following requirements (note that RO/-- as used in the diagrams below refers to an international application filed under the PCT in any competent receiving office):
(a) The U.S. application is a national stage entry of the corresponding PCT application. See diagrams (A), (A’) and (A”)) below.
(b) The U.S. application is a national application which forms the basis for the priority claim in the corresponding PCT application. See diagram (B) below. Provisional applications, plant applications, design applications, reissue applications and applications subject to a secrecy order (35 U.S.C. 181) are excluded and not subject to participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program.
(c) The U.S. application is a national stage entry of another PCT application (which can be filed in any competent receiving office) which claims priority to the corresponding PCT application. See diagram (C) below.
(d) The U.S. application is a national application claiming foreign/domestic priority to the corresponding PCT application. See diagram (D) below. Design applications and applications subject to a secrecy order (35 U.S.C. 181) are excluded and not subject to participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program.
(e) The U.S. application is a continuing application (continuation, divisional, or continuation-in-part) of the U.S. application which satisfies one of the above (a) through (d) scenarios. See diagrams (E1) and (E2) below. Plant applications, design applications and applications subject to a secrecy order (35 U.S.C. 181) are excluded and not subject to participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program.
|
In diagram (E2), US2 application may be a non-provisional application claiming benefit under 35 U.S.C. 119(e) to a provisional application (US1).
(2) The latest work product in the international phase of the PCT application corresponding to the U.S. application, namely, the WO/ISA, WO/IPEA, or the IPER, indicates at least one claim in the PCT application has novelty, inventive step and industrial applicability. In case any observation is described in Box VIII of the WO/ISA, WO/IPEA, or IPER which forms the basis for the PCT-PPH request, applicant must identify and explain why the claim(s) is/are not subject to any observation described in Box VIII irrespective of whether an amendment is submitted to correct the observation described in Box VIII. The U.S. application will not be eligible to participate in the PCT-PPH pilot program if applicant does not identify and explain why the claim(s) is/are not subject to the observation described in Box VIII.
Note that the ISA and the IPEA which produced the WO/ISA, WO/IPEA and the IPER are limited to the APO or the USPTO.
Applicant may not file a request to participate in the PCT-PPH pilot program on the basis of an International Search Report (ISR) only.
(3) Claim Correspondence
(a) All of the claims in each U.S. application for which a request for participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program is made must sufficiently correspond to or be amended to sufficiently correspond to one or more of those claims indicated as having novelty, inventive step and industrial applicability and be free of any observation described in Box VIII in the latest work product of the corresponding PCT application. (b) Claims are considered to "sufficiently correspond" where, accounting for differences due to translations and claim format requirements, the claims in the U.S. application are of the same or similar scope as the claims indicated as having novelty, inventive step and industrial applicability and free of any observation described in Box VIII in the latest work product of the corresponding PCT application, or the claims in the U.S. application are narrower in scope than the claims indicated as having novelty, inventive step and industrial applicability and free of any observation described in Box VIII in the latest work product of the corresponding PCT application. (c) In this regard, a claim that is narrower in scope occurs when a claim indicated as having novelty, inventive step and industrial applicability and free of any observation described in Box VIII in the latest work product of the corresponding PCT application is amended to be further limited by an additional feature that is supported in the written description of the U.S. application. The claim(s) with the narrower scope must be written in dependent form in the U.S. application for which participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program is requested. |
(4) Substantive examination of the U.S. application for which participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program is requested has not begun.
(5) Applicant must file a request for participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program and a request that the U.S. application be advanced out of turn for examination by order of the Director to expedite the business of the Office under 37 CFR 1.102(a). A sample request form (PTO/SB/20PCT-AT) will be available from the USPTO Web site at http://www.uspto.gov on October 1, 2010. Applicants are encouraged to use the USPTO request form. A petition fee under 37 CFR 1.17(h) is NOT required. See Notice Regarding the Elimination of the Fee for Petitions To Make Special Filed Under the Patent Prosecution Highway (PPH) Programs, 75 FR 29312 (May 25, 2010).
(6) Unless already filed in the U.S. application for which participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program is requested, applicant must submit a copy of the latest international work product, WO/ISA, WO/IPEA or IPER, which indicated that the claim(s) has/have novelty, inventive step and industrial applicability along with an English translation thereof if the copy of the latest international work product is not in the English language. A statement that the English translation is accurate is not required. Where the required documents have been previously filed in the U.S. application, applicant may simply refer to these documents and indicate in the request for participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program when these documents were previously filed in the U.S. application. Where the U.S. application and the corresponding PCT application satisfy the relationship noted in B.(1)(a) above, applicant need not submit a copy of the latest international work product along with an English translation thereof since a copy of these documents is already contained in the file wrapper of the U.S. application.
(7) Unless already filed in the U.S. application for which participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program is requested, applicant must submit a copy of the claims from the corresponding PCT application which were indicated as having novelty, inventive step and industrial applicability in the latest work product of the PCT application along with an English translation thereof and a statement that the English translation is accurate if the claims are not in the English language. Where the required documents have been previously filed in the U.S. application, applicant may simply refer to these documents and indicate in the request for participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program when these documents were previously filed in the U.S. application. If the claims in the U.S. application for which participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program is requested are identical to the claims from the corresponding PCT application, and are in the English language, applicant may just indicate such in the PCT-PPH request and it will not be necessary for applicant to submit a copy of the claims from the corresponding PCT application.
(8) Applicant is required to submit a claims correspondence table in English. The claims correspondence table must indicate how all the claims in the U.S. application sufficiently correspond to the claims indicated as having novelty, inventive step and industrial applicability in the latest international work product.
(9) Applicant must submit an information disclosure statement (IDS) listing the documents cited in the international work products (ISR, WO/ISA, WO/IPEA, IPER) of the PCT application corresponding to the U.S. application for which participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program is requested (unless such an IDS has already been filed in the U.S. application, in which case applicant may simply refer to the previously filed IDS and indicate in the request for participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program when the IDS was previously filed in the U.S. application). Applicant must submit copies of all the documents cited in the international work products of the PCT application corresponding to the U.S. application (unless the copies have already been filed in the U.S. application, in which case applicant may simply refer to the previously filed copies of the documents and indicate in the request for participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program when the copies were previously filed in the U.S. application) except U.S. patents or U.S. patent application publications.
(10) The request for participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program and all the supporting documents must be submitted to the USPTO via EFS-Web and indexed with the following document description: "Petition to make special under PCT-Patent Pros Hwy." Information regarding EFS-Web is available at http://www.uspto.gov/ebc/efs_help.html. Any preliminary amendments and IDS submitted with the PCT-PPH documents must be separately indexed as a preliminary amendment and IDS, respectively.
Where the request for participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program and special status are granted, applicant will be notified and the U.S. application will be advanced out of turn for examination. In those instances where the request for participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program does not meet all the requirements set forth above, applicant will be notified and the defects in the request will be identified. Applicant will be given one opportunity to perfect the request in a renewed request for participation (which must be submitted via EFS-Web and indexed accordingly as noted above). Note that action on the application by the examiner will NOT be suspended (37 CFR 1.103) awaiting a reply by the applicant to perfect the request in a renewed request for participation. That is, if the application is picked up for examination by the examiner after applicant has been notified of the defects in the request, any renewed request will be dismissed. If the renewed request is perfected and examination has not begun, the request and special status will be granted, applicant will be notified and the U.S. application will be advanced out of turn for examination. If not perfected, applicant will be notified and the application will await action in its regular turn.
Request for participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program and special status granted in a parent application will not carry over to a continuing application. Applicant must fulfill all the conditions set forth above in order for special status to be granted in the continuing application.
Once the request for participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program and special status have been granted to the U.S. application, the U.S. application will be taken up for examination by the U.S. examiner before all other categories of applications except those clearly in condition for allowance, those with set time limits, such as examiner’s answers, and those that have been granted special status for "accelerated examination."
Any claims amended or added after the grant of the request for participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program must "sufficiently correspond" to the claims indicated as having novelty, inventive step and industrial applicability in the latest work product of the corresponding PCT application. See the definition of "sufficient correspondence" in II.B.(3) above. Applicant is required to submit a claims correspondence table along with the amendment (see II.B.(8) above). If the amended or newly added claims do not sufficiently correspond to the claims indicated as having novelty, inventive step and industrial applicability in the latest work product of the corresponding PCT application, the amendment will not be entered and will be treated as a non-responsive reply.
The PCT-PPH program does not absolve applicants of all their duties under 37 CFR 1.56 and 37 CFR 11.18. By complying with requirements II.B.(6) and (9) identified above, applicants would be considered to have complied with their duties to bring to the attention of the USPTO any material prior art cited in the corresponding PCT application (see MPEP § 2001.06(a)). Applicants still have a duty of candor and good faith, including providing to the USPTO other information known to them to be material to patentability.
Any inquiries concerning this notice may be directed to Magdalen Greenlief, Office of the Associate Commissioner for Patent Examination Policy, at 571-272-8140 or at magdalen.greenlief@uspto.gov.

Patent Prosecution Highway Pilot Program between the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the Spanish Patent and Trademark Office |
Patent Prosecution Highway Pilot Program between the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the Spanish Patent and Trademark Office |
The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is establishing a 2010-2015 Strategic Plan to transform the USPTO into a more quality-focused, highly productive, responsive organization supporting a market-driven intellectual property system. One of the specific action items of the 2010-2015 Strategic Plan is to share search results with other intellectual property offices. By relying on the search results obtained via partnerships with other intellectual property offices, the USPTO can reduce duplication of efforts and decrease workload.
From July 2006 to January 2008, the USPTO partnered with the Japan Patent Office (JPO) to establish the first Patent Prosecution Highway (PPH) pilot program. The PPH leverages accelerated examination procedures already available in both offices to allow applicants in both offices to obtain corresponding patents faster and more efficiently. The PPH also permits each office to benefit from the work previously done by the other office, in turn helping to reduce workload and improve patent quality. The USPTO and the JPO began full implementation of the PPH program on January 4, 2008.
The USPTO commenced a PPH pilot program with the Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO) on January 28, 2008. The pilot program ended on January 28, 2009, and full implementation of the PPH program began on January 29, 2009.
USPTO has also commenced separate PPH pilot programs with the United Kingdom Intellectual Property Office (UK IPO), the Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO), IP Australia (IPAU), the European Patent Office (EPO), the Danish Patent and Trademark Office (DKPTO), the Intellectual Property Office of Singapore (IPOS), the German Patent and Trade Mark Office (DPMA), the National Board of Patents and Registration of Finland (NBPR), the Hungarian Patent Office (HPO), and the Russian Patent Office (Rospatent) based on the same or similar framework as the PPH between the USPTO and JPO.
Following on these partnerships, the USPTO and the Spanish Patent and Trademark Office (SPTO) have agreed to launch a PPH pilot program similar to the PPH pilot programs noted above.
The PPH was established to enable an applicant whose claims are determined to be allowable/patentable in the Office of first filing (OFF) to have the corresponding application filed in the Office of second filing (OSF) advanced out of turn for examination while at the same time allowing the OSF to exploit the search and examination results of the OFF.
Where the USPTO is the OFF and the U.S. application contains claims that are determined to be allowable/patentable, the applicant may request accelerated examination at SPTO for the corresponding application filed with SPTO as the OSF. The procedures and requirements for filing a request with SPTO for participation in the PPH pilot program will be available on October 1, 2010, from the SPTO Web site at: http://www.oepm.es/cs/OEPMSite/contenidos/PPH/PPH_en.htm.
Where the USPTO is the OSF and the corresponding application filed with SPTO as the OFF contains claims that are determined to be allowable/patentable, the applicant may request participation in the PPH pilot program in the USPTO and request that the U.S. application be advanced out of turn for examination by order of the Director to expedite the business of the Office under 37 CFR 1.102(a). Note that the procedures for a petition to make special under the accelerated examination program set forth in MPEP 708.02(a) do NOT apply to a request for expedited examination by order of the Director to expedite the business of the Office under 37 CFR 1.102(a). The procedures and requirements for filing a request in the USPTO for participation in the PPH pilot program are set forth below.
The PPH pilot program will commence on October 1, 2010, for a period of one year ending on September 30, 2011. The trial period may be extended for up to an additional year if necessary to adequately assess the feasibility of the PPH program. The USPTO and SPTO will evaluate the results of the pilot program to determine whether and how the program should be fully implemented after the trial period. The Offices may also terminate the PPH pilot program early if the volume of participation exceeds manageable level, or for any other reason. Notice will be published if the PPH pilot program will be terminated before the September 30, 2011 date.
B. Requirements for Requesting Participation in the PPH Pilot Program in the USPTO
In order to be eligible to participate in the PPH pilot program, the following conditions must be met:
(1) The U.S. application is
(a) a Paris Convention application which either
|
|||||||
or | |||||||
(b) a national stage application under the PCT (an application which entered the national stage in the U.S. from a PCT international application after compliance with 35 U.S.C. 371), which PCT application
|
|||||||
or | |||||||
(c) a so-called bypass application filed under 35 U.S.C. 111(a) which validly claims benefit under 35 U.S.C. 120 to a PCT application, which PCT application
|
Examples of U.S. applications that fall under requirement (1) are:
(1)(a)(i):
- US application with single Paris Convention priority claim to an application filed in Spain (ES)
- US application with multiple Paris Convention priority claims to ES applications
- Paris route and domestic priority
- Paris route and divisional application
(1)(a)(ii):
- US application claims Paris Convention priority to a PCT application
* DO Designated Office
(1)(b)(i):
- US application is a national stage of a PCT application which claims Paris Convention priority to an ES application
- PCT Route
(1)(b)(ii):
- US application is a national stage of a PCT application which claims Paris Convention priority to another PCT application
- Direct PCT and PCT Route
(1)(b)(iii):
- US application is a national stage of a PCT application without priority claim
(1)(c)(i):
- US application is a 111(a) bypass of a PCT application which claims Paris Convention priority to an ES application
(1)(c)(ii):
- US application is a 111(a) bypass of a PCT application which claims Paris Convention priority to another PCT application
(1)(c)(iii):
- US application is a 111(a) bypass of a PCT application which contains no priority claim
The ES application whose claims are determined to be allowable/patentable does not have to be the application for which priority is claimed in the USPTO application (the basic application). The ES application can be an application explicitly derived from the basic application, e.g., a divisional application of the basic application. Note that where the ES application that contains the allowable/patentable claims is not the same application for which priority is claimed in the U.S. application, applicant must identify the relationship between the ES application that contains the allowable/patentable claims and the ES priority application claimed in the U.S. application (e.g., ES application X that contains the allowable/patentable claims is a divisional application of ES application Y, which is the priority application claimed in the U.S. application).
Provisional applications, plant applications, design applications, reissue applications, reexamination proceedings, and applications subject to a secrecy order are excluded and not subject to participation in the PPH.
(2) The ES application(s) have at least one claim that was determined by the SPTO to be allowable/patentable. Applicant must submit a copy of the allowable/patentable claims from the ES application(s) along with an English translation thereof and a statement that the English translation is accurate if the claims are not in the English language. If the SPTO Office action does not explicitly state that a particular claim is allowable, applicant must include a statement in the request for participation in the PPH pilot program or in the transmittal letter accompanying the request for participation that no rejection has been made in the SPTO Office action regarding that claim, and therefore, the claim is deemed allowable by the SPTO.
(3) All of the claims in each U.S. application for which a request for participation in the PPH pilot program is made must sufficiently correspond to or be amended to sufficiently correspond to the allowable/patentable claims in the ES application(s). Claims will be considered to sufficiently correspond where, accounting for differences due to translations and claim format requirements, the claims are of the same or similar scope. Applicant is also required to submit a claims correspondence table in English. The claims correspondence table must indicate how all the claims in the U.S. application correspond to the allowable/patentable claims in the ES application(s).
(4) Examination of the U.S. application for which participation in the PPH pilot program is requested has not begun.
(5) Applicant must file a request for participation in the PPH pilot program and a request that the U.S. application be advanced out of turn for examination by order of the Director to expedite the business of the Office under 37 CFR 1.102(a). A sample request form (PTO/SB/20ES) will be available from the USPTO Web site at http://www.uspto.gov on September 1, 2010. Applicants are encouraged to use the USPTO request form. A petition fee under 37 CFR 1.17(h) is NOT required. See Notice Regarding the Elimination of the Fee for Petitions To Make Special Filed Under the Patent Prosecution Highway (PPH) Programs, 75 FR 29312 (May 25, 2010).
(6) Applicant must submit a copy of all the Office actions (which are relevant to patentability) from each of the ES application(s) containing the allowable/patentable claims that are the basis for the request, along with an English translation thereof and a statement that the English translation is accurate if the Office actions are not in the English language. In addition, applicant must submit copies of any Office actions (which are relevant to patentability) from the ES application(s) issued after the grant of the request for participation in the PPH pilot program in the USPTO (especially where SPTO might have reversed a prior holding of allowability).
(7) Applicant must submit an information disclosure statement (IDS) listing the documents cited by the SPTO examiner in the SPTO Office action (unless such an IDS has already been filed in the U.S. application). Applicant must submit copies of all the documents cited in the SPTO Office action (unless the copies have already been filed in the U.S. application) except U.S. patents or U.S. patent application publications.
The request for participation in the PPH pilot program and all the supporting documents must be submitted to the USPTO via EFS-Web and indexed with the following document description: "Petition to make special under Patent Pros Hwy." Information regarding EFS-Web is available at http://www.uspto.gov/ebc/efs_help.html. Any preliminary amendments and IDS submitted with the PPH documents must be separately indexed as a preliminary amendment and IDS, respectively.
Where the request for participation in the PPH pilot program and special status are granted, applicant will be notified and the U.S. application will be advanced out of turn for examination. In those instances where the request for participation in the PPH pilot program does not meet all the requirements set forth above, applicant will be notified and the defects in the request will be identified. Applicant will be given one opportunity to perfect the request in a renewed request for participation (which must be submitted via EFS-Web and indexed accordingly as noted above). Note that action on the application by the examiner will NOT be suspended (37 CFR 1.103) awaiting a reply by the applicant to perfect the request in a renewed request for participation. That is, if the application is picked up for examination by the examiner after applicant has been notified of the defects in the request, any renewed request will be dismissed. If the renewed request is perfected and examination has not begun, the request and special status will be granted, applicant will be notified and the U.S. application will be advanced out of turn for examination. If not perfected, applicant will be notified and the application will await action in its regular turn.
(8) Request for participation in the PPH pilot program and special status granted in a parent application will not carry over to a continuing application. Applicant must fulfill all the conditions set forth above in order for special status to be granted in the continuing application.
If any of the documents identified in items (2), (6) and (7) above have already been filed in the U.S. application prior to the request for participation in the PPH pilot program, it will not be necessary for applicant to resubmit these documents with the request for participation. Applicant may simply refer to these documents and indicate in the request for participation in the PPH pilot program when these documents were previously filed in the U.S. application.
Once the request for participation in the PPH pilot program and special status have been granted to the U.S. application, the U.S. application will be taken up for examination by the U.S. examiner before all other categories of applications except those clearly in condition for allowance, those with set time limits, such as examiner’s answers, and those that have been granted special status for "accelerated examination."
Any claims amended or added after the grant of the request for participation in the PPH pilot program must sufficiently correspond to one or more allowable/patentable claims in the ES application(s). Applicant is required to submit a claims correspondence table along with the amendment (see B.(3) above). If the amended or newly added claims do not sufficiently correspond to the allowable/patentable claims in the ES application(s), the amendment will not be entered and will be treated as a non-responsive reply.
The PPH program does not absolve applicants of all their duties under 37 CFR 1.56 and 37 CFR 11.18. By complying with requirements B.(6) and (7) identified above, applicants would be considered to have complied with their duties to bring to the attention of the USPTO any material prior art cited in the corresponding foreign application(s) (see MPEP § 2001.06(a)). Applicants still have a duty of candor and good faith, including providing to the USPTO other information known to them to be material to patentability.

Patent Prosecution Highway Pilot Program between the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the Spanish Patent and Trademark Office based on Patent Cooperation Treaty Work Products |
Patent Prosecution Highway Pilot Program between the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the Spanish Patent and Trademark Office based on Patent Cooperation Treaty Work Products |
The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and the Spanish Patent and Trademark Office (SPTO) have agreed to commence a Patent Prosecution Highway (PPH) pilot program on October 1, 2010. Under the PPH pilot program, an applicant receiving a determination from the SPTO that at least one claim in an application filed in Spain is allowable/patentable may request that a corresponding application filed in the USPTO be accorded special status and be advanced out of turn for examination. The PPH pilot program is limited to the utilization of search and examination results of national applications between cross filings under the Paris Convention.
In order to expand the potential of the PPH pilot program, the USPTO recently implemented a new PPH pilot program with our Trilateral partners (the European Patent Office (EPO) and the Japan Patent Office (JPO)) and the Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO), based on Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) work products (PCT-PPH pilot program). The USPTO had discussions with the SPTO to launch a PCT-PPH pilot program similar to the PCT-PPH pilot programs between the USPTO and EPO, between the USPTO and JPO, and between the USPTO and KIPO. The USPTO and SPTO agreed that consistency between PCT-PPH pilot programs should be maintained to the extent possible, to avoid creating burdens on applicants and offices, and to ensure maximum work-sharing potential.
The PCT-PPH pilot program was established to enable an applicant, who has received
(1) a Written Opinion from an International Searching Authority (WO/ISA) (ISA must be the SPTO or the USPTO), or
(2) a Written Opinion from an International Preliminary Examining Authority (WO/IPEA) (IPEA must be the SPTO or the USPTO), or
(3) an International Preliminary Examination Report (IPER) from an International Preliminary Examining Authority (IPEA must be the SPTO or the USPTO), that indicates at least one claim in the PCT application has novelty, inventive step and industrial applicability, to file a request to participate in the PCT-PPH pilot program in a corresponding U.S. application and petition to make the U.S. application special under the PCT-PPH pilot program. Note that the procedures for a petition to make special under the accelerated examination program set forth in MPEP 708.02(a) do NOT apply to a petition to make special under the PCT-PPH pilot program. The procedures and requirements for filing a request in the USPTO for participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program are set forth below.
USPTO and SPTO agreed that the PCT-PPH pilot program will commence on October 1, 2010, for a period of one year ending on September 30, 2011. The trial period may be extended if necessary until the USPTO and the SPTO receive a sufficient number of PCT-PPH requests to adequately assess the feasibility of the PCT-PPH pilot program. The USPTO and the SPTO may also terminate the PCT-PPH pilot program early if the volume of participation exceeds a manageable level, or for any other reasons. Notice will be published if the PCT-PPH pilot program will be terminated before the September 30, 2011 date.
In order to be eligible to participate in the PCT-PPH pilot program, the following conditions must be met:
(1) The relationship between the corresponding U.S. application for which participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program is requested and the PCT application satisfies one of the following requirements (note that RO/-- as used in the diagrams below refers to an international application filed under the PCT in any competent receiving office):
(a) The U.S. application is a national stage entry of the corresponding PCT application. See diagrams (A), (A’) and (A”) below.
(b) The U.S. application is a national application which forms the basis for the priority claim in the corresponding PCT application. See diagram (B) below. Provisional applications, plant applications, design applications, reissue applications and applications subject to a secrecy order (35 U.S.C. 181) are excluded and not subject to participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program.
(c) The U.S. application is a national stage entry of another PCT application (which can be filed in any competent receiving office) which claims priority to the corresponding PCT application. See diagram (C) below.
(d) The U.S. application is a national application claiming foreign/domestic priority to the corresponding PCT application. See diagram (D) below. Design applications and applications subject to a secrecy order (35 U.S.C. 181) are excluded and not subject to participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program.
(e) The U.S. application is a continuing application (continuation, divisional, or continuation-in-part) of the U.S. application which satisfies one of the above (a) through (d) scenarios. See diagrams (E1) and (E2) below. Plant applications, design applications and applications subject to a secrecy order (35 U.S.C. 181) are excluded and not subject to participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program.
|
In diagram (E2), US2 application may be a non-provisional application claiming benefit under 35 U.S.C. 119(e) to a provisional application (US1).
(2) The latest work product in the international phase of the PCT application corresponding to the U.S. application, namely, the WO/ISA, WO/IPEA, or the IPER, indicates at least one claim in the PCT application has novelty, inventive step and industrial applicability. In case any observation is described in Box VIII of the WO/ISA, WO/IPEA, or IPER which forms the basis for the PCT-PPH request, applicant must identify and explain why the claim(s) is/are not subject to any observation described in Box VIII irrespective of whether an amendment is submitted to correct the observation described in Box VIII. The U.S. application will not be eligible to participate in the PCT-PPH pilot program if applicant does not identify and explain why the claim(s) is/are not subject to the observation described in Box VIII.
Note that the ISA and the IPEA which produced the WO/ISA, WO/IPEA and the IPER are limited to the SPTO or the USPTO.
Applicant may not file a request to participate in the PCT-PPH pilot program on the basis of an International Search Report (ISR) only.
(3) Claim Correspondence
(a) All of the claims in each U.S. application for which a request for participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program is made must sufficiently correspond to or be amended to sufficiently correspond to one or more of those claims indicated as having novelty, inventive step and industrial applicability and be free of any observation described in Box VIII in the latest work product of the corresponding PCT application. (b) Claims are considered to "sufficiently correspond" where, accounting for differences due to translations and claim format requirements, the claims in the U.S. application are of the same or similar scope as the claims indicated as having novelty, inventive step and industrial applicability and free of any observation described in Box VIII in the latest work product of the corresponding PCT application, or the claims in the U.S. application are narrower in scope than the claims indicated as having novelty, inventive step and industrial applicability and free of any observation described in Box VIII in the latest work product of the corresponding PCT application. (c) In this regard, a claim that is narrower in scope occurs when a claim indicated as having novelty, inventive step and industrial applicability and free of any observation described in Box VIII in the latest work product of the corresponding PCT application is amended to be further limited by an additional feature that is supported in the written description of the U.S. application. The claim(s) with the narrower scope must be written in dependent form in the U.S. application for which participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program is requested. |
(4) Substantive examination of the U.S. application for which participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program is requested has not begun.
(5) Applicant must file a request for participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program and a request that the U.S. application be advanced out of turn for examination by order of the Director to expedite the business of the Office under 37 CFR 1.102(a). A sample request form (PTO/SB/20PCT-ES) will be available from the USPTO Web site at http://www.uspto.gov on October 1, 2010. Applicants are encouraged to use the USPTO request form. A petition fee under 37 CFR 1.17(h) is NOT required. See Notice Regarding the Elimination of the Fee for Petitions To Make Special Filed Under the Patent Prosecution Highway (PPH) Programs, 75 FR 29312 (May 25, 2010).
(6) Unless already filed in the U.S. application for which participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program is requested, applicant must submit a copy of the latest international work product, WO/ISA, WO/IPEA or IPER, which indicated that the claim(s) has/have novelty, inventive step and industrial applicability along with an English translation thereof if the copy of the latest international work product is not in the English language. A statement that the English translation is accurate is not required. Where the required documents have been previously filed in the U.S. application, applicant may simply refer to these documents and indicate in the request for participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program when these documents were previously filed in the U.S. application. Where the U.S. application and the corresponding PCT application satisfy the relationship noted in B.(1)(a) above, applicant need not submit a copy of the latest international work product along with an English translation thereof since a copy of these documents is already contained in the file wrapper of the U.S. application.
(7) Unless already filed in the U.S. application for which participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program is requested, applicant must submit a copy of the claims from the corresponding PCT application which were indicated as having novelty, inventive step and industrial applicability in the latest work product of the PCT application along with an English translation thereof and a statement that the English translation is accurate if the claims are not in the English language. Where the required documents have been previously filed in the U.S. application, applicant may simply refer to these documents and indicate in the request for participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program when these documents were previously filed in the U.S. application. If the claims in the U.S. application for which participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program is requested are identical to the claims from the corresponding PCT application, and are in the English language, applicant may just indicate such in the PCT-PPH request and it will not be necessary for applicant to submit a copy of the claims from the corresponding PCT application.
(8) Applicant is required to submit a claims correspondence table in English. The claims correspondence table must indicate how all the claims in the U.S. application sufficiently correspond to the claims indicated as having novelty, inventive step and industrial applicability in the latest international work product.
(9) Applicant must submit an information disclosure statement (IDS) listing the documents cited in the international work products (ISR, WO/ISA, WO/IPEA, IPER) of the PCT application corresponding to the U.S. application for which participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program is requested (unless such an IDS has already been filed in the U.S. application, in which case applicant may simply refer to the previously filed IDS and indicate in the request for participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program when the IDS was previously filed in the U.S. application). Applicant must submit copies of all the documents cited in the international work products of the PCT application corresponding to the U.S. application (unless the copies have already been filed in the U.S. application, in which case applicant may simply refer to the previously filed copies of the documents and indicate in the request for participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program when the copies were previously filed in the U.S. application) except U.S. patents or U.S. patent application publications.
(10) The request for participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program and all the supporting documents must be submitted to the USPTO via EFS-Web and indexed with the following document description: "Petition to make special under PCT-Patent Pros Hwy." Information regarding EFS-Web is available at http://www.uspto.gov/ebc/efs_help.html. Any preliminary amendments and IDS submitted with the PCT-PPH documents must be separately indexed as a preliminary amendment and IDS, respectively.
Where the request for participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program and special status are granted, applicant will be notified and the U.S. application will be advanced out of turn for examination. In those instances where the request for participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program does not meet all the requirements set forth above, applicant will be notified and the defects in the request will be identified. Applicant will be given one opportunity to perfect the request in a renewed request for participation (which must be submitted via EFS-Web and indexed accordingly as noted above). Note that action on the application by the examiner will NOT be suspended (37 CFR 1.103) awaiting a reply by the applicant to perfect the request in a renewed request for participation. That is, if the application is picked up for examination by the examiner after applicant has been notified of the defects in the request, any renewed request will be dismissed. If the renewed request is perfected and examination has not begun, the request and special status will be granted, applicant will be notified and the U.S. application will be advanced out of turn for examination. If not perfected, applicant will be notified and the application will await action in its regular turn.
Request for participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program and special status granted in a parent application will not carry over to a continuing application. Applicant must fulfill all the conditions set forth above in order for special status to be granted in the continuing application.
Once the request for participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program and special status have been granted to the U.S. application, the U.S. application will be taken up for examination by the U.S. examiner before all other categories of applications except those clearly in condition for allowance, those with set time limits, such as examiner’s answers, and those that have been granted special status for "accelerated examination."
Any claims amended or added after the grant of the request for participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program must "sufficiently correspond" to the claims indicated as having novelty, inventive step and industrial applicability in the latest work product of the corresponding PCT application. See the definition of "sufficient correspondence" in II.B.(3) above. Applicant is required to submit a claims correspondence table along with the amendment (see II.B.(8) above). If the amended or newly added claims do not sufficiently correspond to the claims indicated as having novelty, inventive step and industrial applicability in the latest work product of the corresponding PCT application, the amendment will not be entered and will be treated as a non-responsive reply.
The PCT-PPH program does not absolve applicants of all their duties under 37 CFR 1.56 and 37 CFR 11.18. By complying with requirements II.B.(6) and (9) identified above, applicants would be considered to have complied with their duties to bring to the attention of the USPTO any material prior art cited in the corresponding PCT application (see MPEP § 2001.06(a)). Applicants still have a duty of candor and good faith, including providing to the USPTO other information known to them to be material to patentability.
