Patent Quality Chat - Webinar

The USPTO’s Patent Quality Chat webinar series continues April 11 from noon - 1 p.m. with a discussion of "Examination Time Analysis.

Examination time goals vary by technology and represent the average amount of time a patent examiner is expected to spend examining an application. In this webinar our speakers will present the use of examination time goals in our production system and answer any questions you may have, via patentquality@uspto.gov.

Please join the chat and share your thoughts regarding quality, pendency, and cost for services. As part of the USPTO’s continuous quality improvement efforts, we will use your feedback to help ensure examination time goals accurately reflect the amount of time needed by patent examiners to conduct quality examination in a manner that responds to your interests.
