Collaborative Search Pilot

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.
