The expanded Collaborative Search Pilot (CSP), running from
November 1, 2017 through October 31, 2020, is designed to

comprehensive prior art by combining the search expertise of
examiners at the USPTO and JPO or KIPO before issuing an office

those references on form PTO-892 to reduce the applicant’s
IDS burden.
