Patent Prosecution Highway (PPH)
The National Board of Patents and Registration of Finland (NBPR) has launched Patent Prosecution Highway (PPH) cooperative projects with the patent offices of Austria, Canada, Hungary, Japan, the Korean Republic, Russia, Spain and the United States of America. PPH agreements enable patent offices to exchange information and speeds up the processing of patent applications. Through these agreements, a Finnish patent applicant can request accelerated processing at the other office, if the claims in a corresponding application filed with that office have already been allowed by the NBPR.
