August 9 Patent Quality Chat Webinar

On August 9 from noon – 1 p.m. ET, the USPTO’s Patent Quality Chat webinar series continues with "The Post-Prosecution Pilot:  A New After Final Collaboration Program." 

USPTO speakers will discuss the details of our new pilot program recently announced in the Federal RegisterThe Post-Prosecution Pilot (P3) Program is designed to incorporate effective features of two current programs, (1) the After Final Consideration Pilot (AFC) 2.0 program and (2) the Pre-Appeal Brief Conference Pilot program. The P3 Program adds new, requested features, such as providing applicants an opportunity to present arguments to a panel at a conference.  For more information about the pilot, please visit our P3 web page and participate in our webinar.  We look forward to your feedback on this topic.

The Patent Quality Chat webinar series is part of the USPTO’s Enhanced Patent Quality Initiative.  Webinar login information is available online, where you can also find information about previous and upcoming Patent Quality Chat topics, such as “Electronic Patent Filing”, “Evaluating Subject Matter Eligibility”, and “Interview Practice.”
