In an effort to alleviate a pileup of 700,000-plus patent applications, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has begun implementing new pilot programs it hopes will draw down the already large numbers.
And with certain types of patent applications taking three or four years to process, any initiative that speeds the application process is a welcome addition to the inventor community, since less time between application and issuance means a potential increase in the value of the idea.

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has recently begun electronic delivery of search results from U.S. patent applications to the European Patent Office (EPO) to assist U.S. applicants who later file in the EPO to comply with amended Rule 141(1) of the EPO's implementing regulations to the European Patent Convention (EPC). As a result, U.S. applicants subject to amended Rule 141(1) EPC will not need to separately file their U.S. search results with the EPO, thereby providing time and cost savings to these applicants.
