Following the recent announcement that Israel and the United States had reached a PCT-PPH agreement, yesterday the Israel PTO announced via its website and its email distribution list that on October 17, 2012 it would be holding a workshop regarding PPH practice from 8:30-13:30. Presentations will be given by both ILPTO and USPTO officials. A detailed program will follow. People wishing to attend should send an email to Michal Logasi: MichalLo@justice.gov.il.
The fact that the ILPTO saw fit to announce the PPH program via its website, but not the upcoming meeting with the examination corps, only heightens the strangeness of the latter non-announcement.
