By Christopher P. Singer --
Unfortunately, because of technical difficulties the U.S.
Patent Office was unable to broadcast its presentation originally scheduled for
1:00 pm EST today, regarding the update to Private PAIR (Private PAIR
7.0). They hope to reschedule the event
for sometime tomorrow.
Earlier today, the PTO announced that this presentation
will also discuss the Priority Document Exchange System (PDX) that is scheduled
to launch (with intent to have full capability) on January 16, 2007. As we reported on November 24,
the PDX program will allow an Applicant to request that the USPTO either
request from or release to the EPO, an electronic version of a priority
document. This will be at no cost to the
Applicant. The current fee for
requesting that the USPTO provide a priority document is $20 per document.
This webcast will be recorded and available for later viewing. We will provide that information as it becomes available.
