European Patent Office as Searching and Examining Authority
The European Patent Office (EPO) may act as the International Searching
Authority (ISA) for an international application filed with the United
States Receiving Office or the International Bureau (IB) as Receiving
Office where at least one of the applicants is either a national or
resident of the United States of America. However, the EPO is no longer
a competent ISA, within the meaning of PCT Article 16(3), for
international applications filed by U.S. residents or nationals on or
after 01 March 2002 in the USPTO or IB as a Receiving Office, and where
the application contains one or more claims directed to the field of
business methods. For the definition of what the EPO considers to be
precluded subject matter in the field of business methods, applicants
should see the "Notice from the President of the European Patent
Office", dated 26 November 2001, and which was published as Annex A in
the "Notice Concerning EPO Competence to Act as PCT Authority" in

The European Patent Office may act as the International
Preliminary Examining Authority (IPEA) for an international application
filed in the United States Receiving Office or the International Bureau
as Receiving Office where at least one of the applicants is either a
national or resident of the United States of America, provided that the
European Patent Office acted as the International Searching Authority.
However, the EPO is no longer a competent IPEA, within the meaning of
PCT Article 32(3), for international applications filed by U.S.
residents or nationals in the USPTO or IB as a Receiving Office where
the corresponding demand is filed with the EPO on or after 01 March
2002, and where the application contains one or more claims directed to
the fields of business methods.
The EPO resumed its competence as an International Searching
Authority and International Preliminary Examining Authority, effective
January 1, 2004, for international applications filed by nationals or
residents of the United States of America where the application
contains one or more claims relating to the field of biotechnology.
This change was announced in the Official Gazette at 1277 O.G. 230, on
December 30, 2003.
The EPO resumed its competence as an International Preliminary
Examining Authority, effective July 1, 2004, for demands filed by U.S.
residents or nationals on or after July 1, 2004, for international
applications filed by nationals or residents of the United States of
America where the application contains one or more claims relating to
the field of telecommunications. This change was announced in the
Official Gazette at 1277 O.G. 230, on December 30, 2003.
The search fee of the European Patent Office was increased,
effective April 1, 2008, and was announced in the Official Gazette

RIN 0651-AC28
Fiscal Year 2009 Changes to Patent Cooperation
Treaty Transmittal and Search Fees
AGENCY: United States Patent and Trademark Office, Commerce.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.
SUMMARY: The United States Patent and Trademark Office (Office) is
proposing to revise the rules of practice to adjust the transmittal and
search fees for international applications filed under the Patent
Cooperation Treaty (PCT). The Office is proposing to adjust the PCT
transmittal and search fees to recover the estimated average cost to the
Office of processing PCT international applications and preparing
international search reports and written opinions for PCT international
applications.
DATES: Written comments must be received on or before August 18, 2008.
No public hearing will be held.
ADDRESSES: Comments should be sent by electronic mail message over the
Internet addressed to AC28.comments@uspto.gov. Comments may also be
submitted by mail addressed to: Mail Stop Comments--Patents, Commissioner
for Patents, P.O. Box 1450, Alexandria, VA 22313-1450, or by facsimile to
(571) 273-0459, marked to the attention of Boris Milef, Office of the
Deputy Commissioner for Patent Examination Policy. Although comments may be
submitted by mail or facsimile, the Office prefers to receive comments via
the Internet.
Comments may also be sent by electronic mail message over the Internet
via the Federal eRulemaking Portal. See the Federal eRulemaking Portal Web
site (http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/leaving.cgi?from=leavingFR.
html&log=linklog&to=http://www.regulations.gov) for additional instructions
on providing comments via the Federal eRulemaking Portal.
The comments will be available for public inspection at the Office of
the Commissioner for Patents, located in Madison East, Tenth Floor, 600

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The PCT enables United States applicants to file
one application (an international or PCT application) in a standardized
format in English in a Receiving Office (either the United States Patent
and Trademark Office or the International Bureau of the World Intellectual
Property Organization (WIPO)) and have that application acknowledged as a
regular national or regional filing by PCT member countries. See Manual of
Patent Examining Procedure (MPEP) Sec. 1801 (8th ed. 2001) (Rev. 6, Sept.
2007). The primary benefit of the PCT system is the ability to delay the
expense of submitting papers and fees to the PCT national offices. See MPEP
| July 15, 2008 |
US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE |
1332 OG 296 |
1893.
The Office acts as a Receiving Office (RO) for United States residents
and nationals. See 35 U.S.C. 361(a), 37 CFR 1.412(a), and MPEP 1801. An RO
functions as the filing and formalities review organization for
international applications. See MPEP 1801. The Office, in its capacity as a
PCT Receiving Office, received over 50,000 international applications in
each of fiscal years 2006 and 2007. The Office also acts as an
International Searching Authority (ISA). See 35 U.S.C. 362(a), 37 CFR
1.413(a), and MPEP 1840. The primary functions of an ISA are to establish:
(1) International search reports, and (2) written opinions of the ISA. See
MPEP 1840.
The transmittal and search fees for an international application are
provided for in 35 U.S.C. 376. See 35 U.S.C. 376 (the Office "may also
charge" a "transmittal fee," "search fee," "supplemental search fee," and
"any additional fees" (35 U.S.C. 376(a)), and the "amounts of [these] fees
* * * shall be prescribed by the Director" (35 U.S.C. 376(b)). In addition,
35 U.S.C. 41(d) provides that fee amounts set by the Office "recover the
estimated average cost to the Office of such processing, services, or
materials." See 35 U.S.C. 41(d). The Office has no basis for maintaining
the PCT transmittal, search, and supplemental search fees at amounts less
than that necessary to recover the estimated average cost to the Office of
performing these functions for PCT international applications. Therefore,
the Office is proposing to adjust the PCT transmittal fee and search fees
to recover the estimated average cost to the Office of processing PCT
international applications and preparing international search reports and
written opinions for PCT international applications. The Office's cost
analysis for these activities reveals that the average cost of the initial
processing of PCT international applications is slightly over $415.00 and
the average cost of search and preparation of ISA search reports or written
opinions for international applications and for a supplemental search is
slightly over $2,225.00 for each invention.
Discussion of Specific Rules
Title 37 of the Code of Federal Regulations, part 1, is proposed to be
amended as follows:
Section 1.445: Section 1.445(a)(1) is proposed to be amended to change
the transmittal fee from $300.00 to $415.00. Section 1.445(a)(2) is
proposed to be amended to change the search fee from $1,800.00 to
$2,225.00. Section 1.445(a)(3) is proposed to be amended to change the
supplemental search fee from $1,800.00 to $2,225.00.
Rule Making Considerations
A. Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
1. Description of the reasons that action by the agency is being
considered: The Office is proposing to revise the rules of practice to
adjust the transmittal and search fees for international applications filed
under the PCT. The Office is proposing to adjust the PCT transmittal and
search fees to recover the estimated average cost to the Office of
processing PCT international applications and preparing international
search reports and written opinions for PCT international applications.
2. Succinct statement of the objectives of, and legal basis for, the
proposed rules: The Office is proposing to adjust the PCT transmittal and
search fees to recover the estimated average cost to the Office of
processing PCT international applications and preparing international
search reports and written opinions for PCT international applications. The
changes proposed in this notice are authorized by 35 U.S.C. 41(d) and 376.
3. Description and estimate of the number of affected small entities:
The Small Business Administration (SBA) small business size standards
| July 15, 2008 |
US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE |
1332 OG 297 |
applicable to most analyses conducted to comply with the Regulatory
Flexibility Act are set forth in 13 CFR 121.201. These regulations
generally define small businesses as those with fewer than a maximum number
of employees or less than a specified level of annual receipts for the
entity's industrial sector or North American Industry Classification System
code. The Office, however, has formally adopted an alternate size standard
as the size standard for the purpose of conducting an analysis or making a
certification under the Regulatory Flexibility Act for patent-related
regulations. See Business Size Standard for Purposes of United States
Patent and Trademark Office Regulatory Flexibility Analysis for
Patent-Related Regulations, 71 FR 67109 (Nov. 20, 2006), 1313 Off. Gaz.
Pat. Office 60 (Dec. 12, 2006). This alternate small business size standard
is the previously established size standard that identifies the criteria
entities must meet to be entitled to pay reduced patent fees. See 13 CFR
121.802. If patent applicants identify themselves on the patent application
as qualifying for reduced patent fees, the Office captures this data in the
Patent Application Location and Monitoring (PALM) database system, which
tracks information on each patent application submitted to the Office.
Unlike the SBA small business size standards set forth in 13 CFR
121.201, this size standard is not industry-specific. Specifically, the
Office's definition of small business concern for Regulatory Flexibility
Act purposes is a business or other concern that: (1) Meets the SBA's
definition of a "business concern or concern" set forth in 13 CFR 121.105;
and (2) meets the size standards set forth in 13 CFR 121.802 for the
purpose of paying reduced patent fees, namely an entity: (a) Whose number
of employees, including affiliates, does not exceed 500 persons; and (b)
which has not assigned, granted, conveyed, or licensed (and is under no
obligation to do so) any rights in the invention to any person who made it
and could not be classified as an independent inventor, or to any concern
which would not qualify as a non-profit organization or a small business
concern under this definition. See Business Size Standard for Purposes of
United States Patent and Trademark Office Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
for Patent-Related Regulations, 71 FR at 67112, 1313 Off. Gaz. Pat. Office
at 63.
The changes in this proposed rule will apply to any small entity who
files a PCT international application in the United States Receiving Office
and who requests a search by the United States International Searching
Authority. The Office received between 52,000 and 53,000 PCT international
applications in each of fiscal years 2006 and 2007. There is no provision
in 35 U.S.C. 376 (or elsewhere) for a small entity reduction for the
transmittal or search fees for an international application. Thus, PCT
applicants do not indicate and the Office does not record whether a PCT
application is by a small entity or a non-small entity. The Office's PALM
and Revenue Accounting and Management (RAM) systems indicate that 12,043 of
the PCT international applications in fiscal year 2006 claim priority to a
prior application (nonprovisional or provisional) that has small entity
status, and that 2,559 of the PCT international applications in fiscal year
2006 do not claim priority to any prior nonprovisional application or
provisional application. The Office's PALM and RAM systems indicate that
12,716 of the PCT international applications in fiscal year 2007 claim
priority to a prior application (nonprovisional or provisional) that has
small entity status, and that 4,016 of the PCT international applications
in fiscal year 2007 do not claim priority to any prior nonprovisional
application or provisional application.
4. Description of the projected reporting, recordkeeping and other
compliance requirements of the proposed rules, including an estimate of the
classes of small entities which will be subject to the requirement and the
type of professional skills necessary for preparation of the report or
record: This notice does not propose any reporting, recordkeeping and other
compliance requirements. This notice proposes only to adjust the PCT
transmittal and search fees. As discussed previously, there is no provision
in 35 U.S.C. 376 (or elsewhere) for a small entity reduction for the search
fees for an international application. The following table (Table 1)
| July 15, 2008 |
US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE |
1332 OG 298 |
indicates the PCT international stage fee, the number of payments of the
fee received by the Office in fiscal year 2007 (number of entities who paid
the applicable fee in fiscal year 2007), the current fee amount, the
proposed fee amount, and the net amount of the fee adjustment.
Table 1
Fiscal year 2007 Current fee Proposed fee Fee
Fee payments amount amount adjustment
Transmittal Fee $54,335 $300.00 $415.00 $115.00
Search Fee 30,965 1,800.00 2,225.00 425.00
Supplemental Search
Fee $941 1,800.00 2,225.00 425.00
The PCT international search fee and supplemental search fee were
adjusted from $1,000.00 to $1,800.00 in November of 2007. See April 2007
Revision of Patent Cooperation Treaty Procedures, 72 FR 51559 (Sept. 10,
2007), 1323 Off. Gaz. Pat. Office 26 (Oct. 2, 2007) (final rule). Thus, the
change to the search and supplemental search fee proposed in this notice is
a $425.00 increase over the current search fee and supplemental search fee
set in November of 2007, and a $1,225.00 increase over the search fee and
supplemental search fee that was in effect prior to November of 2007.
The PCT does not preclude United States applicants from filing patent
applications directly in the patent offices of those countries which are
Contracting States of the PCT (with or without previously having filed a
regular national application under 35 U.S.C. 111(a) or 111(b) in the United
States) and taking advantage of the priority rights and other advantages
provided under the Paris Convention and the World Trade Organization (WTO)
administered Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property
(TRIPs Agreement). See MPEP 1801. That is, the PCT is not the exclusive
mechanism for seeking patent protection in foreign countries, but is
instead simply an optional alternative route available to United States
patent applicants for seeking patent protection in those countries that are
Contracting States of the PCT. See id.
In addition, an applicant filing an international application under the
PCT in the United States Receiving Office (the United States Patent
and Trademark Office) is not required to use the United States Patent and
Trademark Office as the International Searching Authority. The European
Patent Office (except for applications containing business method claims)
or the Korean Intellectual Property Office may be selected as the
International Searching Authority for international applications filed in
the United States Receiving Office. The applicable search fee if the
European Patent Office is selected as the International Searching Authority
European is currently $2,496.00 (set by the European Patent Office), and
the applicable search fee if the Korean Intellectual Property Office is
selected as the International Searching Authority is currently $244.00 (set
by the Korean Intellectual Property Office).
5. Description of any significant alternatives to the proposed rules
which accomplish the stated objectives of applicable statutes and which
minimize any significant economic impact of the proposed rules on small
entities: The alternative of not adjusting the PCT transmittal and search
fees would have a lesser economic impact on small entities, but would not
accomplish the stated objectives of applicable statutes. See 35 U.S.C.
41(d) (requires that fees set by the Office recover the estimated average
cost to the Office of the processing, services, or materials).
6. Identification, to the extent practicable, of all relevant Federal
rules which may duplicate, overlap or conflict with the
proposed rules: The Office is the sole agency of the United States
Government responsible for administering the provisions of title 35, United
| July 15, 2008 |
US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE |
1332 OG 299 |
States Code, pertaining to examination and granting patents. Therefore, no
other federal, state, or local entity shares jurisdiction over the
examination and granting of patents.
The Office previously proposed changes to adjust the patent fees set by
statute to reflect fluctuations in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). See
Revision of Patent Fees for Fiscal Year 2009, 73 FR 31655 (June 3, 2008)
(proposed rule). The changes proposed in that rule making do not duplicate,
overlap, or conflict with the changes proposed in this notice.
Other countries, however, have their own patent laws, and an entity
desiring a patent in a particular country must make an application for
patent in that country, in accordance with the applicable law. Although the
potential for overlap exists internationally, this cannot be avoided except
by treaty (such as the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial
Property, or the PCT). Nevertheless, the Office believes that there are no
other duplicative or overlapping rules.
B. Executive Order 13132 (Federalism): This rule making does not contain
policies with federalism implications sufficient to warrant preparation of
a Federalism Assessment under Executive Order 13132 (Aug. 4, 1999).
C. Executive Order 12866 (Regulatory Planning and Review): This rule
making has been determined to be significant for purposes of Executive
Order 12866 (Sept. 30, 1993), as amended by Executive Order 13258 (Feb. 26,
2002) and Executive Order 13422 (Jan. 18, 2007).
D. Executive Order 13175 (Tribal Consultation): This rule making will
not: (1) Have substantial direct effects on one or more Indian tribes; (2)
impose substantial direct compliance costs on Indian tribal governments; or
(3) preempt tribal law. Therefore, a tribal summary impact statement is not
required under Executive Order 13175 (Nov. 6, 2000).
E. Executive Order 13211 (Energy Effects): This rule making is not a
significant energy action under Executive Order 13211 because this rule
making is not likely to have a significant adverse effect on the supply,
distribution, or use of energy. Therefore, a Statement of Energy Effects is
not required under Executive Order 13211 (May 18, 2001).
F. Executive Order 12988 (Civil Justice Reform): This rule making meets
applicable standards to minimize litigation, eliminate ambiguity, and
reduce burden as set forth in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of Executive Order
12988 (Feb. 5, 1996).
G. Executive Order 13045 (Protection of Children): This rule making is
not an economically significant rule and does not concern an environmental
risk to health or safety that may disproportionately affect children under
Executive Order 13045 (Apr, 21, 1997).
H. Executive Order 12630 (Taking of Private Property): This rule making
will not effect a taking of private property or otherwise have taking
implications under Executive Order 12630 (Mar. 15, 1988).
I. Congressional Review Act: Under the Congressional Review Act
provisions of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of
1996 (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.), prior to issuing any final rule, the United
States Patent and Trademark Office will submit a report containing the
final rule and other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S.
House of Representatives and the Comptroller General of the Government
Accountability Office. The changes proposed in this notice are not expected
to result in an annual effect on the economy of 100 million dollars or
more, a major increase in costs or prices, or significant adverse effects
on competition, employment, investment, productivity, innovation, or the
ability of United States-based enterprises to compete with foreign-based
enterprises in domestic and export markets. Therefore, this rule making is
not likely to result in a "major rule" as defined in 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
| July 15, 2008 |
US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE |
1332 OG 300 |
J. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995: The changes proposed in this
notice do not involve a Federal intergovernmental mandate that will result
in the expenditure by State, local, and tribal governments, in the
aggregate, of 100 million dollars (as adjusted) or more in any one year, or
a Federal private sector mandate that will result in the expenditure by the
private sector of 100 million dollars (as adjusted) or more in any one
year, and will not significantly or uniquely affect small governments.
Therefore, no actions are necessary under the provisions of the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995. See 2 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.
K. National Environmental Policy Act: This rule making will not have
any effect on the quality of environment and is thus categorically excluded
from review under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969. See 42
U.S.C. 4321 et seq.
L. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act: The requirements of
section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of
1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) are inapplicable because this rule making does
not contain provisions which involve the use of technical standards.
M. Paperwork Reduction Act: The changes proposed in this notice involve
information collection requirements which are subject to review by the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. ). The collection of information involved in
this notice has been reviewed and approved by OMB under OMB control number
0651-0021. The Office is not resubmitting an information collection package
to OMB for its review and approval because the changes proposed in this
notice concern revised fees for existing information collection
requirements associated with the information collection under OMB control
number 0651-0021. The Office will submit fee revision changes to the
inventory of the information collection under OMB control number 0651-0021
if the changes proposed in this notice are adopted.
Comments are invited on: (1) Whether the collection of information is
necessary for proper performance of the functions of the agency; (2) the
accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden; (3) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4)
ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information to
respondents.
Interested persons are requested to send comments regarding these
information collections, including suggestions for reducing this burden,
to: (1) The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of
Management and Budget, New Executive Office Building, Room 10202, 725 17th
Street, NW., Washington, DC 20503, Attention: Desk Officer for the Patent
and Trademark Office; and (2) Robert A. Clarke, Director, Office of Patent
Legal Administration, Commissioner for Patents, P.O. Box 1450, Alexandria,
VA 22313-1450.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is required to
respond to nor shall a person be subject to a penalty for failure to comply
with a collection of information subject to the requirements of the
Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of information displays a
currently valid OMB control number.

United States Postal Service
Interruption and Emergency under 35 U.S.C. 21(a)
The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is designating the
interruption in service of the United States Postal Service (USPS) in the
areas affected by the Flooding in Iowa, on June 9, 2008, as a postal
service interruption and an emergency within the meaning of 35 U.S.C. §
21(a) and 37 CFR 1.10(i) and 2.195(e).
Several Post Offices have been closed in Iowa since Monday, June 9,
2008, due to Flooding. To determine whether a post office has been closed
or reopened, or postal services have been suspended or resumed in a
particular area due to the Flooding in Iowa contact the post office
directly or visit the USPS's Web site at: http://www.usps.gov.
As soon as the USPTO receives further information from the USPS as to
when all of the postal services in the affected area will be resumed, the
USPTO will post updated information regarding this situation on the USPTO
Web site (http://ww.uspto.gov) and in the Official Gazette.
Patent-Related Correspondence
37 CFR 1.10(i) addresses interruptions or emergencies in USPS "Express
Mail Post Office to Addressee" service that are designated by the Director
for patent-related correspondence. Correspondence covered by 37 CFR 1.10
that would have been filed with the USPTO under 37 CFR 1.10 during this
USPS service interruption, but which was not filed due to the USPS service
interruption, should be filed promptly after the termination of the USPS
service interruption with a petition in accordance with 37 CFR 1.10(i)
using "Express Mail" service in accordance with 37 CFR 1.10.
The provisions of 35 U.S.C. § 21(a) and 37 CFR 1.10(i) apply only to
postal interruptions and emergencies. The provisions of 35 U.S.C. § 21(a)
and 37 CFR 1.10(i) do not provide for the granting of a filing date to
correspondence as of the date on which it would have been filed but for
other exigencies, such as the unavailability of an office or building other
than a USPS facility. These provisions apply only if the post office was
closed or "Express Mail" service suspended in the affected areas on the
specified date due to the Flooding in Iowa.
37 CFR 1.10(i) provides that any person attempting to file
correspondence by "Express Mail Post Office to Addressee" service that was
unable to be deposited with the USPS due to an interruption or emergency in
"Express Mail" service which has been so designated by the Director may
petition the Director to consider such correspondence as filed on a
particular date in the Office. 37 CFR 1.10(i) specifically provides that:
any person attempting to file correspondence under this section that was
unable to be deposited with the USPS due to an interruption or emergency in
"Express Mail" service which has been so designated by the Director, may
petition the Director to consider such correspondence as filed on a
particular date in the Office, provided that:
(1) The petition is filed in a manner designated by the Director
promptly after the person becomes aware of the designated interruption or
emergency in "Express Mail" service;
(2) The petition includes the original correspondence or a copy of the
original correspondence; and
(3) The petition includes a statement which establishes, to the
satisfaction of the Director, that the correspondence would have been
deposited with the USPS but for the designated interruption or emergency in
"Express Mail" service, and that the correspondence or copy of the
correspondence is the original correspondence or a true copy of the
correspondence originally attempted to be deposited with the USPS on the
| July 15, 2008 |

1332 OG 303 |
requested filing date.
Patent-related inquiries concerning this notice may be directed to Fred
A. Silverberg, Senior Legal Advisor in the Office of Patent Legal
Administration, at (571) 272-7701 or at PatentPractice@uspto.gov.
Trademark-Related Correspondence
37 CFR 2.195(e) and 2.198 address interruptions or emergencies in USPS
"Express Mail Post Office to Addressee" service that are designated by the
Director for trademark-related correspondence. Correspondence covered by 37
CFR 2.198 that would have been filed with the USPTO under 37 CFR 2.198
during this USPS service interruption, but which was not filed due to the
USPS service interruption, should be filed promptly after the termination
of the USPS service interruption with a petition in accordance with 37 CFR
2.146 and 2.198.
The provisions of 35 U.S.C. § 21(a) and 37 CFR 2.195(e) apply only to
postal interruptions and emergencies. These provisions do not provide for
the granting of a filing date to correspondence as of the date on which it
would have been filed but for other exigencies, such as the unavailability
of an office or building other than a USPS facility. These provisions apply
only if the post office was closed or "Express Mail" service suspended in
the affected areas on the specified date due to the Flooding in Iowa.
Under 37 CFR 2.195(e) and 2.198, any person attempting to file
correspondence by "Express Mail Post Office to Addressee" service that was
unable to be deposited with the USPS due to the interruption or emergency
in "Express Mail" service in the areas designated in this notice may
petition the Director to consider such correspondence as filed on a
particular date in the Office. The petition must:
(1) Be filed promptly after the ending of the designated interruption or
emergency in "Express Mail" service;
(2) Include the original correspondence or a copy of the original
correspondence; and
(3) Include a statement which establishes, to the satisfaction of the
Director, that (a) the correspondence would have been deposited with the
USPS but for the designated interruption or emergency in "Express Mail"
service, and (b) the correspondence or copy of the correspondence is the
original correspondence or a true copy of the correspondence originally
attempted to be deposited with the USPS on the requested filing date.
Please note that under 37 CFR 2.101(b)(2), 2.102(a)(2), 2.198(a)(1) and
7.4(b)(2), the Express Mail procedures cannot be used for the following
types of correspondence: applications for registration of marks; amendments
to allege use under 15 U.S.C. § 1051(c); statements of use under 15 U.S.C.
§ 1051(d); requests for extension of time to file a statement of use under
15 U.S.C. § 1051(d); affidavits of continued use under 15 U.S.C. § 1058;
renewal applications under 15 U.S.C. § 1059; requests to change or correct
addresses; combined filings under 15 U.S.C. §§ 1058 and 1059; combined
affidavits or declarations under 15 U.S.C. §§ 1058 and 1065; responses to
notices of irregularity under 37 CFR 7.14; requests for transformation
under 37 CFR 7.31; notices of opposition to applications based on 15 U.S.C.
§ 1141f(a); and requests for extensions of time to oppose applications
based on 15 U.S.C. § 1141f(a). Therefore, it would be inappropriate to
file a petition seeking a filing date as of the date of deposit of these
types of correspondence as Express Mail.
Moreover, 37 CFR 2.197 (certificate of mailing procedure) does not
provide for according a filing date as of the date of deposit with the
USPS. Therefore, it would be inappropriate to file a petition seeking a
filing date as of the date on a certificate of mailing under 37 CFR 2.197.
