How can I request participation in the Patent Prosecution Highway program?
To request participation in the Patent Prosecution Highway (PPH) program, applicants need to follow specific procedures. The MPEP 708.02(c) provides guidance:
“See www.uspto.gov/patents/init_events/pph/index.jsp for details and forms to request participation in, and to petition to make an application special under, the PPH program.”
Applicants should visit the USPTO’s official PPH website to access the necessary forms and detailed instructions for requesting participation in the program. The process typically involves submitting a request form along with supporting documents that demonstrate eligibility based on a corresponding application in another participating office.
