Its tough for the [[USPTO]] to get up to speed in all areas for which patent applications are sent to them. That probably has something to do with why they are so backed up and often have to rubber stamp applications without a more in depth review. To address this problem, the [[USPTO]] has launched a pilot program called “[http://peertopatent.jot.com/WikiHome Peer to Patent]” which employs the [[JotSpot]] wiki engine. The idea is to open up the review process and invite the community to help dig up prior art and provide other assistance to the examiners. | Its tough for the [[USPTO]] to get up to speed in all areas for which patent applications are sent to them.
