On Thursday, U.S. Patent & Trademark Office head David Kappos explained a new proposal to create three tracks for patent applications. For an extra fee, applicants would be able to have their patents processed more quickly. Alternatively, they could opt for regular processing, or they could choose to have their applications delayed for up to 30 months. In a press conference call, Kappos said the idea is for the patent applicant community to help the USPTO order the workload to be more effective.
