Chapter 2 第2章903Cooperation and Collaboration with Foreign IP Offices and Related Agencies1) Patent Prosecution Highway (PPH)The PPH is a framework that allows an application that is determined to be patentable by the Oice of First Filing (OFF) to undergo, at the request of the applicant, an accelerated examination with simplied procedures at the Oice of Second Filing (OSF) that participates in the PPH with the OFF. The world’s rst PPH, advocated by the JPO, was launched between Japan and the U.S. in July 2006 as a pilot program. [Figure 2-2-1] [Figure 2-2-2] [Figure 2-2-3] [Figure 2-2-4]• As of December 2018, the number of IP oices participating in the PPH has increased to 48.• As of December 2018, the JPO has been implementing the PPH with 42 IP oices, including new PPH collaboration with the Visegrad Patent Institute (VPI) in January 2018, and the Turkish Patent and Trademark Oice (TURKPATENT) in April 2018.• The PPH Portal Site＊1 allows one-stop access to the PPH implementation status and statistical information for participating IP oices.In addition, the JPO serves as the secretariat of the “Global Patent Prosecution Highway” (GPPH), a multinational framework launched in January 2014.• In the GPPH, all types of PPH, including PPH-MOTTAINAI and PCT-PPH＊2 are available among the participating IP oices.• In January 2018, the Visegrad Patent Institute (VPI) joined the GPPH framework, bringing the number of IP oices participating in GPPH to 25.＊1http://www.jpo.go.jp/e/toppage/pph-portal/index.html2-2-1図Figure 2-2-1Outline of Patent Prosecution Highway (PPH)特許審査ハイウェイ（PPH）の概要Application出願Examination審査Patentable特許可能 Application出願Requestfor PPHPPH申請AcceleratedExamination早期審査第一庁第二庁Note:• Period : July–December 2017• U.S. PPH application statistics include PCT-PPH.• FA (First Action): Issuance of first notice of examination.備考:• 集計期間：2017年7月～12月• 米国のPPF出願の統計にはPCT-PPHを含んでいる。• FA（First Action）：一時審査結果の通知2-2-2図Figure 2-2-2Prosecution Highway (PPH)特許審査ハイウェイ（PPH）の効果40%3020100100%755025020Months/月101550Japan日本U.S.米国SouthKorea韓国CanadaカナダJapan日本U.S.米国SouthKorea韓国CanadaカナダJapan日本U.S.米国SouthKorea韓国CanadaカナダShorterFA PendencyFAまでの期間が短縮Increased PatentGrant Rate特許査定率が上昇Increased Patent Grant Rate at FAFAでの特許査定率が上昇Normal Applications全出願PPH ApplicationsPPH出願＊2PPH-MOTTAINAI is a framework that enables an applicant to request for PPH based on a judgment that an application is patentable, made by any IP oice that rst conducts an examination, regardless of which IP oice rst received the patent application. The PCT-PPH is a framework that enables an applicant to request an accelerated examination based on a judgment that an application is patentable in a written opinion or opinion of international preliminary examination report at the PCT international phase.
