The statutory maximum timescale for prosecuting a UK patent application from filing to grant is 4 ½ years, but a granted UK patent can be achieved within one year from filing if steps are taken to minimise the delays.
For more information about how a UK patent application can be granted more quickly, please download our white paper.
