Under the Fast-Track Appeals Pilot Program at the USPTO,
appellants can have their ex parte appeals advanced out of turn.
Appellants simply file a petition to request fast-track review of
their their ex parte appeal and pay a $400 petition fee. The Patent

a decision within six months from the date the petition is granted
and the ex parte appeal is entered into the pilot program. A link
