27 WIPO Pearl (2) I 3 PM Annual Meeting-27
28 PCT-PPH
29 What is the Patent Prosecution Highway (PPH)? The Patent Prosecution Highway (PPH) is a framework in which an application whose claims have been determined to be patentable in the Office of First Filing (OFF) [or Office of Earlier Examination (OEE)] can have an accelerated examination in the Office of Second Filing (OSF) [or Office of Later Examination (OLE)] OFF/OEE Application A Claim B Patentable OSF/OLE Application A Claim B PPH request Accelerated Examination Claim B sufficiently corresponds to Claim B I 3 PM Annual Meeting-29
30 Aims of the PPH By exploitation of search/examination information of the Office of First Filing/Office of Earlier Examination, the PPH: supports applicants in their efforts to obtain stable patent rights efficiently around the world, and reduces the search/examination burden and improves the quality of examination of major patent offices in the world. I 3 PM Annual Meeting-30 Source: PPH Portal Site
31 PCT Timeline: from bilateral to plurilateral agreements to PCT integration? Traditional PPH: bilateral agreements: request to OSF based on claims found acceptable by OFF I 3 PM Annual Meeting-31 PCT-PPH : PPH request can be based on a positive PCT work product of a PCT application PPH MOTTAINAI or PPH 2.0: PPH request based on patent application filed with any Office that has examined the application : OEE OFF IP5 PPH: Plurilateral agreements: PPH request at IP5 Office based on work products of national OR PCT applications issues by any of the IP5 Offices (EPO, JPO, KIPO, SIPO, USPTO) Global PPH: Plurilateral agreements PPH request can be made to any of the participating Offices
32 PPH Network in participating Offices (including 18 PCT International Authorities) as of July 6, 2017 Full table of who offers what available at I 3 PM Annual Meeting-32
33 Global PPH Network 24 participating Offices (including 13 PCT International Authorities) as of July 6, 2017 I 3 PM Annual Meeting-33
34 Total use of PPH 130,761 PPH requests (PPH and PCT-PPH) were received up to end December 2016 " Offices of Earlier Examination (OEE): " JPO (53,229 requests) " USPTO (39,554 requests) " EPO (14,318 requests) " KIPO (11,449 requests) " SIPO (4,033 requests) " Offices of Later Examination (OLE): " USPTO (42,843 requests) " SIPO (19,833 requests) " JPO (18,310 requests) " KIPO (13,935 requests) " CIPO (10,915 requests) " EPO (8,405 requests) Source: I 3 PM Annual Meeting-34
35 PPH Requests between OEE and OLE in 2016 " Main OEE/OLE pairs: " JP US (18,060 requests) " JP CN (9,727 requests [*2,630 PCT-PPH = 26%]) " JP EP (4,430 requests [*1,583 PCT-PPH] = 36%]) " EP CN (1,758 requests [*1,282 PCT-PPH] = 73%]) " EP JP (2,759 requests [*2,071 PCT-PPH]) = 75%]) " EP US (8,189 requests) " US CN (6,243 requests [*192 PCT-PPH] = 3%]) " US CA (8,729 requests [*223 PCT-PPH] = 2.5%]) " US JP (7,339 requests [*104 PCT-PPH] = 1.4%]) Source: I 3 PM Annual Meeting-35
36 Aims of the PCT To simplify and render more economical the obtaining of protection for inventions where protection is sought in several countries (preamble to the PCT): providing a filing tool for applicants for foreign patent filings, and making available a tool for effective processing of patent applications by patent offices of PCT Member States willing to exploit work done by others. I 3 PM Annual Meeting-36
37 Original Relationship between PCT and PPH OFF application Priority claim Patentable claim(s) or Grant OSF DO* application Request for PPH PCT application Positive ISR/ WO-ISA OSF DO* application OSF DO* application I 3 PM Annual Meeting-37 " PCT used as a vehicle : " to get application from OFF to OSF " to take advantage of benefits of PCT, centralized filing and publication, and the 30 months before national phase entry " No possibility to use PCT work products as basis for PPH request
38 Current Relationship between PCT and PPH " PCT-PPH a useful add-on to the PCT procedure " 35% of PPH requests in 2015 were PCT-PPH " Benefits for both PPH and PCT: I 3 PM Annual Meeting-38 " PPH benefits from PCT timelines and timeliness of international work products " PCT benefits from additional incentive for applicants and offices to use the PCT System in a way that is beneficial to all: " high quality initial filing for increased chance of positive written opinion / IPRP(Chapter I) " use of Chapter II focus on fewer, higher quality claims; quality and efficiency gains
39 Integrating the PCT into the PPH: PCT-PPH (step 1) OFF application Priority claim PCT application OSF DO* application OSF DO* application Request for PPH Positive ISR/ WO-ISA OSF DO* application " PPH request can be based on a positive written opinion or positive international preliminary report on patentability (under Chapter I or II) " 16 International Authorities take part as ISA/IPEA " 35 designated/elected Offices accept international work products from at least one ISA/IPEA I 3 PM Annual Meeting-39
40 Integrating the PPH into the PCT further (1) Proposal by UK and US to PCT Working Group in 2013 and 2014 (Circular C.PCT 1364) Expedited processing of national phase applications would be available for all designated/elected Offices (as detailed in proposed new Rules 52bis and 78bis) equal opportunity for accelerated processing Conditions: at start of national phase processing, application must contain only claims considered as allowable in the PCT Work Products (i.e. WO of the ISA or IPEA or IPRP Chapter II) = national claims sufficiently correspond to the claims considered as meeting the criteria set forth in PCT Article 33(2) (4) [novelty, non-obviousness and industrial applicability] Discussions ongoing I 3 PM Annual Meeting-40
41 Integrating the PPH into the PCT further (2) Issues raised by Member States: opt-out (incompatibility with national laws) or optin (designated office notifies when ready to join) requires offices to accept a PCT-PPH request based on work products from all International Authorities different requirements from Global PPH impact on cost and processing at designated offices legal matters - national sovereignty, TRIPS flexibilities, patent harmonization, implementation by amendment to Regulations or Treaty I 3 PM Annual Meeting-41
42 PCT-PPH Conclusions PPH has grown from a bilateral pilot to a network of 46 Offices and PCT-PPH with more than 27,000 requests per year, and still growing PPH complements the PCT both are based on work sharing, PCT work products can be used as basis for PPH request Further integration between the PPH and PCT possible, but still under discussion Further information on JPO PPH Portal at I 3 PM Annual Meeting-42
