The PTO has established an extensive set of new rules for accelerated examination and the associated petition to make special (PTMS). The new rules require much more from the applicant, but also lead to “a final decision by the examiner within 12 months from the application filing date.”
On Thursday, November 2nd at 1:00 Chicago Time, the PTO will hold a one-hour live web-cast to provide information on the process and its “benefits.”
