The USPTO recently launched the expanded Collaborative Search
Pilot (CSP) in collaboration with the Japan Patent Office (JPO) and Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO). CSP is a fast, free way to strengthen your IP internationally.
Some benefits of using CSP:
-
Applications
are fast-tracked, leading to an expedited First Action on the Merits (FAOM)
- Expedited examination in multiple offices at no extra cost
- Greater
consistency in examination, leading to strong IP protections across multiple
countries
More information is available on the CSP program page of the USPTO website.
