USPTO Expands "Green Technology Pilot Program"

Posted on November 10, 2010 by Rajiv Sarathy

The USPTO today announced an expansion and extension to the "Green Technology Pilot Program."  Under the program, patent applications pertaining to environmental quality, energy conservation, development of renewable energy resources, and greenhouse gas emission reduction can be accorded special status and prosecuted more quickly than other applications.

This pilot program will run until December 31, 2011, but the USPTO will accept only the first 3,000 grantable petitions to make special under the Green Technology Pilot Program.
