Notice of Suspension |
Notice of Suspension Arlene J. Powers, a registered patent attorney (Registration Number 35,985). Ms. Powers has been suspended for twenty-four (24) months by the United States Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO" or "Office") for violating 37 CFR §§ 10.23(b)(3), (b)(4), (b)(5) and (b)(6), via 37 CFR § 10.23(c)(2)(ii), and 37 CFR § 10.85(a)(5), by knowingly giving false or misleading information to the Office; and 37 CFR § 10.77(c) by neglecting a matter entrusted to Ms. Powers. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, Ms. Powers is eligible to request reinstatement after serving two (2) months of her 24-month suspension, and, if reinstated, Ms. Powers will be permitted to practice before the Office. Ms. Powers is also required to serve a probationary period if her request for reinstatement is granted. The aforementioned Disciplinary Rule violations are predicated upon Ms. Powers having provided the Office with false or misleading information in connection with petitions to revive an abandoned application. In agreeing to the above-described sanction, the OED Director took into account that (1) Ms. Powers has no prior disciplinary history before the Office during the over eighteen and a half years she has been registered as a patent practitioner, (2) the basis for the misconduct appears to have been aberrational, (3) her employer imposed additional sanctions, including placing Ms. Powers on probation, and (4) she fully cooperated with the Office of Enrollment and Discipline during the investigation and resolution of this matter. This action is the result of a settlement agreement between Ms. Powers and the OED Director pursuant to the provisions of 35 U.S.C. §§ 2(b)(2)(D) and 32, and 37 CFR §§ 11.20, 11.26, and 11.59. Disciplinary decisions involving practitioners are posted for public reading at the Office of Enrollment and Discipline Reading Room located at: http://des.uspto.gov/Foia/OEDReadingRoom.jsp.

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has implemented Patent Prosecution Highway (PPH) pilot programs with various Intellectual Property Offices. Under the PPH pilot program, an applicant receiving a determination from an Office of First Filing (OFF) that at least one claim in an application filed in the OFF 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)), the Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO), the Austrian Patent Office (APO), the Spanish Patent and Trademark Office (SPTO), the Federal Service on Intellectual Property, Patents & Trademarks of Russia (Rospatent), IP Australia (IPAU), and the National Board of Patents and Registration of Finland (NBPR) based on PCT work products (PCT-PPH pilot program). The USPTO had discussions with the Swedish Patent and Registration Office (PRV) to launch a PCT-PPH pilot program similar to the PCT-PPH pilot programs between the USPTO and our partnering Offices identified above. The USPTO and PRV 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.
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 PRV or the USPTO), or
(2) a Written Opinion from an International Preliminary Examining Authority (WO/IPEA) (IPEA must be the PRV or the USPTO), or
(3) an International Preliminary Examination Report (IPER) from an International Preliminary Examining Authority (IPEA must be the PRV 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.
USPTO and PRV agreed to commence the PCT-PPH pilot program on June 1, 2011, for a period of two years ending on May 31, 2013. The trial period may be extended if necessary until the USPTO and the PRV receive a sufficient number of PCT-PPH requests to adequately assess the feasibility of the PCT-PPH pilot program. The USPTO and the PRV 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 May 31, 2013 date.
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 PRV 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-SE) will be available from the USPTO Web site at http://www.uspto.gov. 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.
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.

Patent Prosecution Highway Pilot Program between the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the Israeli Patent Office |
Patent Prosecution Highway Pilot Program between the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the Israeli Patent Office |
The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has established 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 PPH pilot programs with the Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO) and the Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO) on January 28, 2008. The pilot program with KIPO ended on January 28, 2009, and full implementation of the PPH program began on January 29, 2009. The pilot program with CIPO ended on January 28, 2011, and full implementation of the PPH program with CIPO began on January 29, 2011.
USPTO has also commenced separate PPH pilot programs with the United Kingdom Intellectual Property Office (UK IPO), 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), the Spanish Patent and Trademark Office (SPTO), the Austrian Patent Office (APO), and the Mexican Institute of Industrial Property (IMPI) based on the same or similar framework as the PPH between the USPTO and JPO.
Following on these partnerships, the USPTO and the Israeli Patent Office have agreed to launch a PPH pilot program similar to the PPH pilot programs noted above.
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 the Israeli Patent Office for the corresponding application filed with the Israeli Patent Office as the OSF. The procedures and requirements for filing a request with the Israeli Patent Office for participation in the PPH pilot program will be available on July 1, 2011, from the Israeli Patent Office Web site at: http://www.justice.gov.il/MOJEng/RashamPatentim/.
Where the USPTO is the OSF and the corresponding application filed with Israeli Patent Office 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 in Section B.
The PPH pilot program will commence on July 1, 2011, for a period of one year ending on June 30, 2012. 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 the Israeli Patent Office 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 June 30, 2012 date.
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 that either
|
|||||||
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), in which the PCT application
|
|||||||
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, in which the PCT application
|
Examples of U.S. applications that fall under requirement (1) are:
(1)(a)(i):
- U.S. application with a single Paris Convention priority claim to an application filed in Israel (IL)
- U.S. application with multiple Paris Convention priority claims to IL applications
- Paris Convention and domestic priority
- Paris Convention and divisional application
(1)(a)(ii):
- U.S. application claiming Paris Convention priority to a PCT application
* DO Designated Office
(1)(b)(i):
- U.S. application is a national stage of a PCT application that claims Paris Convention priority to an IL application
- PCT Route
(1)(b)(ii):
- U.S. application is a national stage of a PCT application that claims Paris Convention priority to another PCT application
- Direct PCT and PCT Route
(1)(b)(iii):
- U.S. application is a national stage of a PCT application without priority claim
(1)(c)(i):
- U.S. application is a § 111(a) bypass of a PCT application that claims Paris Convention priority to an IL application
(1)(c)(ii):
- U.S. application is a § 111(a) bypass of a PCT application that claims Paris Convention priority to another PCT application
(1)(c)(iii):
- U.S. application is a § 111(a) bypass of a PCT application that contains no priority claim
The IL 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 IL application can be an application explicitly derived from the basic application, e.g., a divisional application of the basic application. Note that where the IL application that contains the allowable/patentable claims is not the same application for which priority is claimed in the U.S. application, the applicant must identify the relationship between the IL application that contains the allowable/patentable claims and the IL priority application claimed in the U.S. application (e.g., IL application X that contains the allowable/patentable claims is a divisional application of IL 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 IL application(s) must have at least one claim that was determined by the Israeli Patent Office to be allowable/patentable. The applicant must submit a copy of the allowable/patentable claims from the IL 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 Israeli Patent Office office action does not explicitly state that a particular claim is allowable, the 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 Israeli Patent Office office action regarding that claim, and therefore, the claim is deemed allowable by the Israeli Patent Office.
(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 IL 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. The 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 IL application(s).
(4) Examination of the U.S. application for which participation in the PPH pilot program is requested has not begun.
(5) The 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/20IL) will be available from the USPTO Web site at http://www.uspto.gov on July 1, 2011. 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 Fed. Reg. 29312 (May 25, 2010).
(6) The applicant must submit a copy of all the office actions (which are relevant to patentability) from each of the IL 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, the applicant must submit copies of any office actions (which are relevant to patentability) from the IL application(s) issued after the grant of the request for participation in the PPH pilot program in the USPTO (especially where the Israeli Patent Office might have reversed a prior holding of allowability).
(7) The applicant must submit an information disclosure statement (IDS) listing the documents cited by the Israeli Patent Office examiner in the Israeli Patent Office office action (unless such an IDS has already been filed in the U.S. application). The applicant must submit copies of all the documents cited in the Israeli Patent Office 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, the 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, the applicant will be notified and the defects in the request will be identified. The 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 the 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, the applicant will be notified and the U.S. application will be advanced out of turn for examination. If not perfected, the 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. The 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 the applicant to resubmit these documents with the request for participation. The 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.
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 IL application(s). The 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 IL 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.
