Patent Prosecution Highway (PPH) Between USPTO And EPO

The USPTO has announced today the start of a trial period for a PPH program between the USPTO and the EPO.
The trial period is going to start on September 29, 2008 and is for a period of one year. An extension may be possible.
The USPTO has already started to establish trial PPH programs with various patent offices including Canadian Intellectual Property Office, UK Intellectual Property Office, the Korean Patent Office (KPO), IP Australia (IPAU).
A running PPH program is already established with the Japan Patent Office (JPO).

Let's hope the highways don't get jammed!
