Explains how the modified PTO/SB/39 and PTO/SB/01 forms streamline access, including a new checkbox and disclosure of filing dates critical for the JPO. Specifies what participating offices receive and when separate submissions are waived.","# Enhancement of Priority Document Exchange Program and USPTO Declaration Form\n\nBackground  \nIn January 2007,the United States Patent and Trademark Office(USPTO)implemented a procedure for directelectronic priority document exchange with participating foreign intellectual property offices.See Changes toImplement Priority Document Exchange Between Intellectual Property Offices,72 FR 1664-2(January 16.2007),1315-2 Off.Gaz.Pat.Office(Feb.13,2007)(final rule)(hereinafter\"Priority Document Exchange FinalRule”).The USPTO established agreements to obtain and provide priority documents with the European PatentOffice(EPO)as of January 16,2007.Further,on July 28,2007,the Japan Patent Office(JPO)became thesecond foreign intellectual property office participating with the USPTO in a priority document exchange(PDX)agreement (participating foreign intellectual property office).See 37 CFR 1.14(h)and 1.55(d).  \nIn accordance with the established PDX procedure,if an EPO or JPO application claims foreign priority to a USprovisional or nonprovisional application,the EPO or JPO will automatically attempt to retrieve an electroniccopy of the US application.However,the USPTO will release copies of US applications-as-filed to the EPO orJPO only if the US priority application has received a foreign filing license in accordance with 37 CFR 5.11and:(1)the applicant of the US application provided an appropriate written authority to permit access to theapplication by participating offices under 37 CFR 1.14 and 35U.S.C.122(if the US application has not yetbeen published);or(2)the US application has been published or patented.In accordance with established PDXprocedure,written authority under 37 CFR 1.14 and 35 U.S.C.122 is typically provided by the applicant filing aproperly signed“Authorization to Permit Access to Application by Participating Offices”(e.g.,Form  \nPTO/SB/39)in a US provisional or nonprovisional application.Form PTO/SB/39 is available from the USPTOwebsite at http://www.uspto.gov/web/forms/sb0039.pdf  \n## Enhancement of PDX\n\nThe patent community has requested that the USPTO investigate ways in which this procedure of providingwritten authority to participating offices might be streamlined and simplified.In response to this request,the“Declaration for Utility or Design Patent Application”(Form PTO/SB/01)has been modified to include a checkbox enabling the applicant to include an Authorization to Permit Access to Application by Participating Officesgranting the USPTO written authority to provide any intellectual property office in which a foreign application,claiming priority to the US application for which the declaration is made,is filed access to the US application.See 37 CFR 1.14(c)and(h).  \nIn addition,the USPTO has come to understand that the date of filing the Authorization to Permit Access toApplication by Participating Offices is sometimes of critical legal significance at the JPO.Accordingly,inorder to further streamline the PDX procedure,the PTO/SB/39(as well as the PTO/SB/01)has been modified toindicate that,in accordance with 37 CFR 1.14(c),access may be provided to information concerning the date offiling the Authorization to Permit Access to Application by Participating Offices.  \nAccordingly,upon filing an Authorization to Permit Access to Application by Participating Office which couldbe on a separate paper(e.g.,PTO/SB/39)or a proper executed oath or declaration(e.g.,the modified FormPTO/SB/01)that includes an Authorization to Permit Access to Application by Participating Offices,anyforeign intellectual property office participating with the USPTO in a bilateral or multilateral priority documentexchange agreement(participating foreign intellectual property office)will be provided with access to:1)the  \nidentified US application for which the declaration is made,2)any foreign application to which the identifiedUS application claims priority under 35 USC 119(a)-(d)if a copy of the foreign application that satisfies theecertifi","cbCaiisEy9CTvHyf","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiisEy9CTvHyf","pdf",289728,3,"English","en",105,"# Background\n## Enhancement of PDX","[{\"question\":\"What is the USPTO Priority Document Exchange (PDX) program?\",\"answer\":\"It is a procedure for direct electronic priority document exchange between the USPTO and participating foreign intellectual property offices, allowing foreign offices to retrieve copies of US applications under defined authorization and filing conditions.\"},{\"question\":\"How have Form PTO/SB/01 and PTO/SB/39 been modified to streamline PDX?\",\"answer\":\"The Declaration for Utility or Design Patent Application (PTO/SB/01) was modified to add a checkbox enabling the applicant to include authorization.
