What is the Priority Document Exchange program?

The Priority Document Exchange (PDX) program is a system that allows participating intellectual property offices to exchange priority documents electronically. This program simplifies the process of submitting certified copies of foreign priority applications for patent applicants.

According to the MPEP, The Office website provides information concerning the priority document exchange program ( www.uspto.gov/patents/basics/international-protection/electronic-priority-document-exchange-pdx ). This information includes participating offices and instructions for accessing foreign applications.
