Section B performance of the pct system B.5.3 Timeliness in transmitting IPRPs by time category Figure B.5.3 presents the same data as in Figure B.5.2, but broken down by four categories corresponding to timeliness in transmitting IPRPs to the IB. The share of IPRPs transmitted within 28 months (68.4%) remained almost stable in 2012 compared to the previous year. However, the number of IPRPs transmitted after 32 months decreased from 17.2% to 13% over the same period. Figure B.5.3: Timeliness in transmitting IPRPs to the IB by time category Within 28 months Between 29 - 30 months Between 31 - 32 months More than 32 months Distribution by time category (%) 100 75 50 25 82.2 78.7 69.5 67.8 60.5 61.8 64.0 70.8 71.4 70.7 68.8 68.4 Share of IPRPs transmitted within 28 months (%) 0 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 Year Note: Timeliness is calculated as the time elapsed between the priority date and the date on which the IB received the IPRP from the IPEA.

Section b performance of the pct system B.5.4 Timeliness in transmitting IPRPs by time category and IPEA Figure B.5.4 presents the same timeliness information for 2012 as in figures B.5.2 and B.5.3, but provides a breakdown by IPEA. In 2012, the offices of Spain, Sweden and Japan transmitted, respectively, 97.2%, 91.2% and 91.1% of IPRPs within 28 months from the priority date of the application; whereas the USPTO, the offices of Austria and Canada transmitted, respectively, 63.9%, 38.5% and 34.3% of IPRPs later than 32 months from the priority date of the application. Figure B.5.4: Timeliness in transmitting IPRPs to the IB by delay and IPEA, 2012 Within 28 months Between 29 - 30 months Between 31 - 32 months More than 32 months Distribution by time category (%) 100 75 50 25 0 97.2 91.2 91.1 84.3 78.9 74.4 72.8 69.6 66.7 61.0 44.3 36.7 30.8 25.2 Share of IPRPs transmitted within 28 months (%) Spain Sweden Japan China Nordic Patent Institute European Patent Office Australia Finland Brazil International Preliminary Examining Authority Russian Federation Canada Republic of Korea Austria United States of America Note: Timeliness is calculated as the time elapsed between the priority date and the date on which the IB received the IPRP from the IPEA. Source: WIPO Statistics Database, March 2013 B.6 PCT-PPH Pilots Use of the PCT-Patent Prosecution Highway (PCT-PPH) pilots enables applicants, where a favorable written opinion or IPRP has been issued by the participating ISA and/ or IPEA, to fast-track patent examination procedures in the national phase and, generally, to obtain a patentability decision more quickly from participating offices. In 2012, 38 PCT-PPH pilots were active, with the participation of 21 offices, including 14 international authorities. B.6.1 New PCT-PPH pilots The following offices started bilateral PCT-PPH pilots in 2012: • Danish Patent and Trademark Office (Denmark) and Federal Service for Intellectual Property (Rospatent) (Russian Federation); • Rospatent and SIPO; • JPO and KIPO; • KIPO and SIPO; • Industrial Property Office (Czech Republic) and USPTO; • Intellectual Property Office (Philippines) and JPO; • Israel Patent Office and National Board of Patents and Registration of Finland; • Israel Patent Office and USPTO; and • National Institute of Industrial Property (Portugal) and JPO. 77
