I feel the need for a speeded up trade mark / patent application

The UK IPO is consulting on whether to introduce a fast track processing system for patent and trade mark applications. To get into the fast lane, you'd need to pay an extra fee. In return for the fee, the UK IPO would guarantee that certain parts of the process would be completed within a specified period.

The consultation asks for your views on issues such as the level of proposed fee and the likely take-up amongst applicants of the fast track service.

The consultation closes on 14 December 2007.
