Trends in USPTO Patent Applications

On September 26, 2000 the USPTO released provisions in its enforcement rules concerning the streamlining of invention patent application procedures. These new provisions were intended to reduce application time, simplify application procedures, remove barriers to electronic application, and lower costs to the public and the USPTO. Under these new provisions, an applicant may file an application in respect of a lengthy computer program or biological sequence data in CD-ROM or other electronic format, and an authorized attorney would be able to obtain his/her client's application documents.
The European Patent Office (EPO) handled its first online patent application on December 8, 2000. The USPTO has also recently made the Electronic Patent Application Filing System (EFS) available for public use, and it has established an E-Commerce Center that supports the EFS in offering applicants with software for preparing and submitting applications over the Internet. The EFS software is able to integrate information from an application, calculate fees, compress documents, issue an application number, and transmit the application documents to the USPTO. The USPTO also guarantees the security of the electronic application using the state of the art Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) technology, which provides applicants with a customer number and a digital signature, and ensures that the EFS will be able to compress all relevant documentation from the applicant's computer and transmit it to the USPTO's E-mailbox.
