What is the time frame for examination under prioritized examination?
The goal of prioritized examination is to provide a final disposition within 12 months, on average, from the date prioritized status is granted. The MPEP defines final disposition as:
The final disposition for the twelve-month goal means that within twelve months from the date prioritized status has been granted that one of the following occur: (A) mailing of a notice of allowance; (B) mailing of a final Office action; (C) filing of a notice of appeal; (D) completion of examination as defined in 37 CFR 41.102; (E) filing of a request for continued examination; or (F) abandonment of the application.
It’s important to note that this is a goal, not a guarantee, and some applications may take longer depending on various factors.
