The process for reducing time and cost for obtaining patents <\/strong>is a major checkpoint to consider while applying for patents. This is because this process is extremely lengthy and time consuming. The associated costs involved <\/strong>are also high. Experts<\/a><\/strong> believe that the primary reason behind the tedious patent application process<\/a><\/strong> is often prosecution delays. The well-known ‘patent term adjustment<\/a><\/strong>‘ process fails to be useful too. This happens especially when inventions that belong to a field of technology are constantly evolving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To tackle these delays, patent offices<\/strong> have undertaken several initiatives. One such initiative is the accelerated examination program<\/strong>. Here, the USPTO<\/strong><\/a> will advance an application for examination (if the applicant files a grantable petition). Such initiatives are however applicable only to specific individuals. They are not a solution to counter the delay in obtaining a patent<\/strong>. In case the technology domain is an occluded one, even accelerated examinations may not really prove useful. The application may further lack substantial examination. Thereby it may remain prone to invalidation<\/a><\/strong> during post examination proceedings (bearing in mind the additional costs incurred).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
