U.S. Patent Office Offers Speedier Examination -- Again
You
may recall that back in 2006 I wrote about a way to obtain U.S. patents more quickly using a new "accelerated examination" offered by the U.S. Patent and Trademark
Office (USPTO). Since then, the USPTO has adopted another program, called
"Peer-to-Patent,"
offering faster than normal examination.

that the more our clients understand about intellectual property law, the better
equipped they are to make successful long-term business decisions to protect
their valuable intellectual property. That is why we offer a variety of educational seminars tailored to our
clients' needs.
When you conduct competitive market research, do you find out what your competitors are doing just once
and then rely on the same research for months or years? Of course
not. Yet many patent owners do exactly this when they perform just one patent search before filing a patent application and then never update that search.
