The US Patent and Trademark Office is currently participating in a Peer Reviewed Prior Art Pilot project, in which applicants for patents classified in the Computer Architecture, Software and Information Security Technology Center can volunteer their application to be included as one of the 250 applications in the pilot for community (public) review. The goal of the pilot is to test whether "...collaboration can effectively locate prior art that might not otherwise be located by the [Patent] Office during the typical examination process".
