Brazil’s National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI) has announced that the global limit for requests for accelerated technical examination through the Patent Prosecution Highway (PPH) program is approaching its peak for 2024.
The PPH currently has a limit of 800 applications per annual cycle, which ends on December 31, 2024. After this date, or when the limit is reached, the PPH is reinstated and will be resumed in January 2025.
