What is the purpose of the Priority Document Exchange (PDX) program?
The Priority Document Exchange (PDX) program is designed to facilitate the electronic exchange of priority documents between participating intellectual property offices. According to MPEP 215.01, the PDX program allows participating foreign intellectual property offices to exchange priority documents with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) at no cost to the applicant.
This program aims to streamline the process of submitting priority documents, reducing the burden on applicants and improving efficiency in patent examination procedures.
