Not all patent applications are of equal value or have the benefit of available time. Priorities can change during prosecution, and in this fast-paced world of evolving technology and changing business needs, it is vital that patent systems keep up. Please join us for a discussion on the procedures available in Europe and the United States to control the pace and cost of prosecution. We will review the options, advantages, and risks for expediting or delaying patent prosecution, as well as the typical reasons for accelerating or slowing down examination. Topics include:
- Initiatives for Cutting Delays: Accelerated Prosecution (“Pace”), Early Certainty from Search; and Early Certainty from Opposition
- Making the Most of USPTO Initiatives: Post-Prosecution Pilot Program (“P3”); Track One Examination; and After Final Consideration Pilot 2.0
- The USPTO Examiner Count System and the USPTO Automated Interview Request (AIR) Procedure
- Proactive Prosecution of PCT Applications: PCT Direct; International Search and Examination at the EPO
- Double patenting, continuations, and other portfolio-level strategic considerations for pursuit of accelerated or delayed examination
This webinar is the third segment of Finnegan’s 2017 series, “Advanced US/EP Patent Prosecution Course: From Drafting to Grant.”
