Traditionally, filing and prosecuting a patent application can take years and cost many thousands of dollars from first-filing through patent allowance. Accelerated examination, also called “accelerated prosecution”, allows you to significantly speed up the required patent application examination process. And we can help you do this!
Changes to US patent laws and to bilateral international agreements allow you to significantly reduce prosecution time and, in parallel, to possibly save money.
In the last 5 years we’ve been helping our clients take advantage of changes in patent laws to accelerate prosecution. In most cases, they obtained significantly faster patent allowances AND reduced overall prosecution costs.
We can help you:
- File your patent application with Track 1 status with a USPTO commitment to complete all prosecution within a 12-month period.
- File your patent application in the US or abroad with PPH (Patent Prosecution Highway) status – taking advantage of a patent allowance in one country to obtain an allowance in another country
- Prosecute your Track 1 and/or PPH applications to assure you the fastest response in the USPTO and abroad.

1st-Tech wrote and filed our provisional patent application and then worked intensively with us to write and file an accelerated non-provisional patent application. Our founder and mentor—who has decades of experience with patents and with other attorneys—had never seen the skill and speed in obtaining our patent, within 7 months—from start to finish! Our patent has helped leverage our business for our unique firearm technology.
Based on my personal experience, Mr. Haim Factor gave us professional and quick service. His added value was not only in writing and prosecuting our patent applications, but in his understanding of the real need of the customer's business, in real time, based on his previous professional background. His experience was critical, especially related to the advanced and complex aspects of dealing with our patents
Patent Agent Haim Factor, of 1st-Tech-Ideas, helped us obtain a patent for our thermoelectric home and car product. His knowledge of patent law and of expedited processing allowed us to efficiently secure a patent in less than 8 months—start to finish. We not only got a patent quickly, but we saved fees in the process!
We needed to quickly obtain patent protection in the US, China, and in Europe for our software/hardware invention. 1st-tech-ideas worked rapidly in the US and in close cooperation with their Chinese and European associates—and succeeded to obtain patents for us in all 3 jurisdictions! Thanks for a job well-done.
