Which document should be provided in English when applying for PPH?

When applying for the Patent Prosecution Highway (PPH), one of the key requirements is the submission of the corresponding claims in English. The reason this document is specified is that it provides a clear focus on the aspects of the application that have been found allowable by another patent office. The corresponding claims highlight the subject matter that is being pursued for patent protection and should thus be presented in a language that facilitates the examination process at the receiving office.

Providing the claims in English allows examiners to quickly assess the novelty and inventive step of the application based on prior decisions made by other jurisdictions, streamlining the examination process. It also ensures clarity and reduces the chances of misinterpretation of the scope of protection sought.

While other documents like the full text of the application, previous office actions, and the examiner's final report might be important in the overall context of the application, the requirement specifically focusing on the corresponding claims reflects the PPH's objective to expedite patent processing based on previously granted patentability findings.
