How long does the grant procedure take at partner offices?
The RP programme, unlike the PPH procedure, is applied systematically for all patent applications. It is expected that the RP programme will improve prosecution at partner offices by reducing unnecessary duplication of work. However, due to the diversity of the patent systems, it is not possible to provide a general answer how long the grant procedure takes at the different partner offices.
