USPTO's Quick Path IDS program

Added by Bala Krishnan , last edited by Bala Krishnan on May 11, 2012 12:37

Hi All:

The USPTO announced the start of the Quick Path Information Disclosure Statement (QPIDS) pilot program, that reduces the number of RCEs filed for consideration of an IDS after the issue fee is paid i.e., Post-NOA IDS submission will not re-open prosecution unless necessary in this pilot program.

Isn't this great! What do you think?

Also, feel free to discuss your pain points in IDS generation/submission and any shortcuts that you have derived/using?
