Korea Intellectual Property Office, KIPO
updated ‘IP5 offices agree on joint PPH pilot programme’.
According to the article, world's five
largest Intellectual Property Offices (IP5) agreed to launch a comprehensive
IP5 Patent Prosecution Highway (PPH) pilot programme as of January 2014.
"I am pleased that the first ever
all-inclusive PPH pilot programme is launched under the PCT framework. It is a
very promising step on the way of facilitating the life of users in five big
economic regions which represent 85% of the patents granted in the world"
noted EPO President Battistelli on EPO.
Also JPO Commissioner Hideo Hato said on JPO “It is
gratifying that the start of the new IP5 initiative enabled us to present a
strategic tool to the users in a simple manner. We should not be satisfied with
this achievement. We will further discuss how to improve quality and management
systems through the PPH arrangements among the IP5 Offices and make efforts to
further strongly support the global activities of the industry.”
