Join the expanded Collaborative Search Program
by Oct. 31

The expanded Collaborative Search Program (CSP) provides applicants who cross-file their patent applications internationally with search results from multiple offices early in the examination process.

It is designed to accelerate examination and provide the applicant with more comprehensive prior art by combining the search expertise of examiners at the USPTO and the Japan Patent Office or the Korean Intellectual Property Office before issuing a first office action.

The deadline to petition to join the expanded CSP is October 31.

For more information, visit the CSP webpage on the USPTO website.

Please send questions to OIPC@USPTO.gov.
