U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) Extends Patent Prosecution Highway (PPH) Pilot Program

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has extended its Patent Prosecution Highway (PPH) pilot program with the other IP5 offices until January 5, 2029, so that eligible applicants may continue to obtain the benefits of expedited prosecution and to maintain the USPTO’s commitment to enhancing intellectual property cooperation. The other IP5 offices are the European Patent Office, the Japan Patent Office, the Republic of Korea’s Ministry of Intellectual Property, and the China National Intellectual Property Administration.

​

The PPH program is a work-sharing arrangement between two or more patent offices that enables an applicant who receives a positive ruling on patent claims from one participating office to request accelerated prosecution of corresponding claims in another participating office. Additional information on the PPH program is available on the USPTO’s PPH webpage
