Global PPH Program

A number of intellectual property offices including the Danish Patent and Trademark office has launched a Global Patent Prosecution Highway (GPPH) Program.

The current participating offices in the Global PPH (GPPH) Program are:
Australia, Austria, Canada, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Iceland, New Zealand, Japan, Korea, Nordic Patent Institute, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Singapore, Spain, Colombia, Sweden, United Kingdom, Unites States of America and Visegrad Patent Institute.

The GPPH program will allow patent applicants to request accelerated examination at any of the offices involved in the pilot if their claims have been found to be acceptable by any of the other offices involved in the pilot.

The program will use a single set of qualifying requirements and it aims to simplify and improve the existing PPH network so that it is more accessible to users.
