European Patent Office as Searching and Examining Authority
The European Patent Office (EPO) may act as the International Searching
Authority (ISA) for an international application filed with the United
States Receiving Office or the International Bureau (IB) as Receiving
Office where at least one of the applicants is either a national or
resident of the United States of America. However, the EPO is no longer
a competent ISA, within the meaning of PCT Article 16(3), for
international applications filed by U.S. residents or nationals on or
after March 1, 2002, in the USPTO or IB as a Receiving Office, and where
the application contains one or more claims directed to the field of
business methods. For the definition of what the EPO considers to be

Examining Authority (IPEA) for an international application filed in the
United States Receiving Office or the International Bureau as Receiving
Office where at least one of the applicants is either a national or
resident of the United States of America, provided that the European
Patent Office acted as the International Searching Authority. However,
the EPO is no longer a competent IPEA, within the meaning of PCT Article
32(3), for international applications filed by U.S. residents or nationals
in the USPTO or IB as a Receiving Office where the corresponding demand is
filed with the EPO on or after March 1, 2002, and where the application
contains one or more claims directed to the field of business methods.

Patent Prosecution Highway Pilot Program between the United States Patent and
Trademark Office and the Austrian Patent Office
|
I. Background
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.
II. Patent Prosecution Highway Pilot Program
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.
A. Trial Period for the PPH Pilot Program
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.
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
| |
(i) validly claims priority under 35 U.S.C. 119(a) and 37 CFR 1.55 to one
or more applications filed with APO, or |
| |
(ii) validly claims priority under 35 U.S.C. 119(a)/365(a) to a
PCT application that contains no priority claims, |
|
| |
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
| |
(i) validly claims priority under 35 U.S.C. 365(b) to an application filed with APO, or |
| |
(ii) validly claims priority under 35 U.S.C. 365(b) to a PCT application that contains
no priority claims, or |
| |
(iii) contains no priority claim, |
|
| |
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
| |
(i) validly claims priority under 35 U.S.C. 365(b) to an application filed with APO, or |
| |
(ii) validly claims priority under 35 U.S.C. 365(b) to a PCT application that contains
no priority claims, or |
| |
(iii) contains no priority claim. |
|
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.
C. Special Examining Procedures
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.

Patent Prosecution Highway Pilot Program between the United States Patent and
Trademark Office and the Austrian Patent Office based on Patent Cooperation
Treaty Work Products
|
I. Background
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.
II. PCT-PPH Pilot Program
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.
A. Trial Period for the PCT-PPH Pilot Program
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.
B. Requirements for Requesting Participation in the PCT-PPH Pilot Program in the USPTO
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.
C. Special Examining Procedures
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.

Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and |
| |
Director of the United States Patent and Trademark Office |
| 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
|
I. Background
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.
II. Patent Prosecution Highway Pilot Program
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.
A. Trial Period for the PPH Pilot Program
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
| |
(i) validly claims priority under 35 U.S.C. 119(a) and 37 CFR 1.55
to one or more applications filed with SPTO, or |
| |
(ii) validly claims priority under 35 U.S.C. 119(a)/365(a) to a
PCT application that contains no priority claims, |
|
| |
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
| |
(i) validly claims priority under 35 U.S.C. 365(b) to an application filed with SPTO, or |
| |
(ii) validly claims priority under 35 U.S.C. 365(b) to a PCT application that
contains no priority claims, or |
| |
(iii) contains no priority claim, |
|
| |
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
| |
(i) validly claims priority under 35 U.S.C. 365(b) to an application filed with SPTO, or |
| |
(ii) validly claims priority under 35 U.S.C. 365(b) to a PCT application that
contains no priority claims, or |
| |
(iii) contains no priority claim. |
|
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.
C. Special Examining Procedures
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.

Director of the United States Patent and Trademark Office |
| 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
|
I. Background
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.
II. PCT-PPH Pilot Program
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.
A. Trial Period for the PCT-PPH Pilot Program
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.
B. Requirements for Requesting Participation in the PCT-PPH Pilot Program in the USPTO
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.
C. Special Examining Procedures
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.
