The United States Patent and Trademark Office is modifying the COVID–19 Prioritized Examination Pilot Program to accept applications until December 31, 2021. Requests that are compliant with the pilot program’s requirements and are filed on or before December 31, 2021, will be accepted, even if more than 500 requests have already been approved. The USPTO will evaluate whether to terminate or further extend the program during this extension.

The Modification published in the Federal Register is available here.
