More thoughts on Accelerated Examination
More practitioner thoughts on the Accelerated Examination (in follow up to my earlier post):
- Patent Prospector on "Accelerated Examination Hell."
- The bottom line: forget accelerated examination. Accelerated examination is an act of desperation for both the patent office and applicant.
- Russ Krajec on "Why I Will Not Be Filing Under the Accelerated Examination Program of the USPTO."
- New prosecution options are always welcome. However, my bet is that there will be a few attempts at this program, but when the first patent is litigated and found invalid, there will be far fewer people even considering the program. As an inventor, patent holder, and patent practitioner, I want every patent to be as thoroughly and comprehensively searched, evaluated, and run through the proverbial wringer before the patent issues. I do not want a cheap, quick patent that cannot be enforced against anyone.
