News from good friends Saba & Co in the their July 2015 newsletter (here) that the Egyptian Patent Office and the Japanese Patent Office began a two-year Patent Prosecution Highway program on 1 June 2015. The Patent Prosecution Highway allows an application that has been determined to be patentable in the Japanese Patent Office to undergo an accelerated examination in the Egyptian Patent Office with a simple procedure upon the applicant’s request.
