Washington - The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) today announced a series of pilot projects for the Patent Prosecution Highway (PPH) with the Spanish Patent and Trademark Office (SPTO), Austrian Patent Office (APO) and the Russian Federal Service for Intellectual Property, Patents and Trademarks (Rospatent). PPH leverages fast-track patent examination in each office to allow applicants to obtain corresponding patents faster and more efficiently in each country. It also will permit each office to benefit from work previously done by the other office, in turn reducing examination workload and improving patent quality.
