The USPTO and the Israeli patent office have recently announced a Patent Prosecution Highway pilot program to begin on July 1st.
The USPTO will accelerate allowed Israeli applications and vice versa.
With the Israeli patent office’s policy of automatically granting patents allowed in the US once they have reached examination, it will in fact render nearly any US patent allowed and granted in Israel shortly after a grant in the US.
With the Israeli patent office’s new program of accelerating patent applications initially filed in Israel, this program may create one of the fastest routes of reaching examination at the US.
Good luck!
