    <p>I'm guessing Track One (of course, Rocket Docket for design has
      been terminated).</p>
    <p>Accelerated Examination is a nightmare - read Carl's article he
      posted earlier.<br>
      However, many people want <i>prioritized </i>examination --
      which is a broader category. Track One is the most painless way to
      get there by paying 2 fees (Track One fee + processing fee) at the
      time of filing. There is a form you have to fill out -- it has to
      be filed <i>at the time of filing</i>, including all fees, and
      there are some claim count fees. Make sure you review the form 2
      or 3 times to make sure you have all the requirements met. Most of
      them can't be fixed after filing (you're application will be fine,
      but you'll lose the opportunity for Track One without refiling).
      Track One usually gets youa first action in about 6 months.<br>
