Patents and published patent
applications provide a key source of
free-flowing technical information
among the world’s brightest minds, thus
promoting further innovation. The
United States Patent and Trademark
Office (USPTO or Office) recognizes that
its charge to issue high-quality patents
to inventors goes hand-in-hand with
dissemination of this important
information. Such information flow is
now more important than ever in view
of the urgent challenges posed by
COVID–19. Therefore, the USPTO is
implementing a deferred-fee provisional
patent application pilot program (the
program) to promote the expedited
exchange of information about
inventions designed to combat COVID–
19. Under this program, the USPTO will
permit applicants to defer payment of
the provisional application filing fee
until the filing of a corresponding
nonprovisional application. In turn,
applicants must agree that the technical
subject matter disclosed in their
provisional applications will be made
available to the public via a searchable
collaboration database maintained on
the USPTO’s website. To qualify for the
program, the subject matter disclosed in
the provisional application must
concern a product or process related to
COVID–19, and such product or process
must be subject to an applicable Food
and Drug Administration (FDA)
approval for COVID–19 use, whether
such approval has been obtained, is
pending, or will be sought prior to
marketing the subject matter for COVID–
19.
DATES: Comments must be received by
November 16, 2020 to ensure
consideration.
Pilot Duration: The deferred-fee
provisional patent application pilot
program will accept certifications and
requests for participation for a period of
12 months, beginning on September 17,
2020. The USPTO may extend the pilot
program (with or without modifications)
or terminate it depending on the
workload and resources needed to
administer it, feedback from the public,
and its effectiveness. Depending on
feedback and public interest, the
technological scope could also be
expanded beyond COVID–19 to other
areas that are the focus of pioneering or
rapid innovation. If the pilot program is
extended or terminated, the USPTO will
notify the public. The USPTO may also
make the program permanent via the
rule-making process.
ADDRESSES: Comments should be sent
by email addressed to
Covid19ProvisionalApplication@
