Which country does a patent process fast?

South Africa is a non-examining country, so you can get a granted patent in under a year. But, because it is so easy to obtain, the value has little weight or sway. This is especially true of the patents value outside of the granting country. i.e. For the PPH program. In such cases, the granted patent is little more than a ticket into the court room where you can then argue over questions of novelty, non-obviousness, and usefulness. (All the decision factors that delay patent granting in most other countries.)

Many countries will prosecute a patent application faster if you pay an extra fee for expedited processing, or if your patent is the subject of an infringement or other litigation issues.

I can’t think of any situation where speed of issuing should be a decision factor in patenting. There are much more important criteria. A licensed patent attorney will be able to help you develop an international protection arrangment based on your business needs and industry.
