Controlling the pace and direction of patent prosecution has long been a challenge for applicants and their advisers. Backlogs and delays have been highlighted at a number of patent offices around the world as areas of concern. In recent years patent offices have implemented various procedures that allow applicants to have more influence in the pace of prosecution.
Please join us for a discussion of the various measures available at the EPO and USPTO that can allow applicants to control the pace of prosecution, and the resultant consequences that can affect the outcome of the application procedure. We will also discuss how actions in the international phase of a PCT application can affect the pace and direction of prosecution in the regional or national phase. In addition, our panel of European and U.S. patent attorneys will share their practical experience of the various EPO and USPTO initiatives for speeding up prosecution.
