The Patent Prosecution Highway (PPH) in Brazil significantly accelerates patent examination, reducing decision times from 3.5 years to approximately 136 days through a bilateral partnership.
The GPPH adoption by the BPTO signifies an essential step in prioritizing patent applications, allowing clearer strategic decisions for companies regarding their innovations.
Despite its advantages, the program is limited to 800 requests annually, hindering accessibility for many applicants who may require expedited processing.
To utilize the PPH, applicants must navigate eligibility constraints, including the restriction of only one submission per week and matching specific application criteria.
