To secure the necessary infrastructure, the five patent offices will each lead two of a total of ten Foundation Projects over the coming years. The projects aim to harmonise the global environment for patent searches and examination and to enable work-sharing among the five offices.
The designated offices and their projects are as follows:
- European Patent Office (EPO): Common Documentation Database with resource material for patent examination and Common Approach for a Hybrid Classification of patents across offices.
- Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO): Common Training Policy for patent examiners and Mutual Machine Translation to overcome language barriers.
- Japan Patent Office (JPO): Common Access to Search and Examination Results across offices and Common Application Format to ensure that patents are digitally filed in XML-format.
- State Intellectual Property Office of the People's Republic of China (SIPO): Common Rules for Examination Practice and Quality Control to harmonise patent quality standards and Common Statistical Parameter System for Examination for accurate international patent statistics.
- United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO): Common Approach to Sharing and Documenting Search Strategies and Common Search and Examination Support Tools in a shared system.
