Event Overview

JPO/KIPO/USPTO International Patent Cooperation – Collaborative Search Pilot Program (CSP) Information Session with CIPA membership and partners.

This information session will provide members of the Chartered Institute of Patent Attorneys (CIPA) and its partners with a detailed overview of the Collaborative Search Pilot (CSP) program, from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), the Japan Patent Office (JPO), and the Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO), as well as allow the three offices an opportunity to hear the views of European stakeholders on these types of work sharing programs. The CSP program provides applicants who cross-file their patent applications internationally with search results from multiple offices early in the examination process. It is designed to accelerate examination and provide the applicant with more comprehensive prior art by combining the search expertise of examiners at the USPTO, JPO, and/or KIPO before issuing a first office action.
