Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) Information |
Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) Information For information concerning PCT member countries, see the notice appearing in the Official Gazette at 1342 O.G. 51, on May 12, 2009. 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 March 1, 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 November 26, 2001, and which was published as Annex A in the "Notice Concerning EPO Competence to Act as PCT Authority" in the Official Gazette at 1255 O.G. 878, on February 19, 2002. 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 March 1, 2002, and where the application contains one or more claims directed to the field of business methods.

Electronic Office Action |
Electronic Office Action On December 16, 2006, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (Office) implemented the Electronic Office (e-Office) Action Pilot Program in which a limited number of patent applicants participated. See Electronic Notification of Outgoing Correspondence (e-Office Action), 1314 Off. Gaz. Pat. Office 1321 (Jan. 16, 2007). Under the program, applicants would receive notifications via electronic mail message (e-mail) of Office communications retrievable through Private Patent Application Information Retrieval (PAIR) in lieu of paper mailings of the communications, with a few exceptions. Participants experienced many benefits including the ability to retrieve Office actions several days faster than mail. Based on the suggestions from thr participants, the Office has made a number of improvements and is expanding the program to permit all Private PAIR users to participate. Participation in the e-Office Action program will continue to be optional. 1. Who may participate and how does a participant sign up? Effective on June 29, 2009, any registered attorney or agent of record, or pro se inventor who is a named inventor, in a patent application associated with a Customer Number through which Private PAIR is accessed, may participate in the e-Office Action program. To access Private PAIR, the participant must have a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) certificate linked to the participant's Customer Number. To register for the e-Office Action program to receive e-mail notifications of subsequent Office communications, Private PAIR users must: a. Log-on to Private PAIR and select the Customer Number Details screen; b. Select the "Receive Correspondence Notification via e-Mail" option within the Customer Number Details screen; and c. Designate at least one e-mail address to receive e-mail notifications for Office communications issued in the applications associated with the Customer Number. The user may designate up to three e-mail addresses. After registration, Office communications entered by participating Office business units (see item 7, below) in each application associated with the Customer Number will be processed under the e-Office Action program. 2. How does e-Office Action work? When one of the participating business units within the Office enters an Office communication in an application that is associated with the user's Customer Number, the Office will send an e-mail notification to the designated e-mail addresses. The e-mail notification will contain the following information: a. The date and time when the e-mail notification is sent by the Office; b. The correspondence address that is associated with the customer number; c. The customer number; d. The following information regarding each new Office communication: i. The application number of the application in which the Office communication is entered; ii. The Image File Wrapper (IFW) document code that is associated with the Office communication; iii. The mailroom/notification date indicated on the form PTOL-90 accompanying the Office communication (generally, any time period for reply set forth in the Office communication will commence on the mailroom/notification date (see item 4 below)); and iv. The attorney docket number.
June 2, 2009 | US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE | 1343 OG 46 |
The Office communication will be available and retrievable immediately through Private PAIR. The Office will not mail a paper copy of the Office communication. Upon receipt of the e-mail notification, the participant may download or view the new Office communication by logging-on to Private PAIR and using either: (1) the Customer Number Outgoing Correspondence Search option; or (2) the Application Search option and access the IFW tab. If the user has multiple applications associated with the Customer Number, a single consolidated e-mail notification will be sent to the user and it will list all of the new Office communications entered on that day in the applications associated with the Customer Number. An abridged version of the e-mail notification, which contains only data pertinent to an individual application, will be scanned into that application file as part of the official record. The abridged e-mail notification scanned into the application file will not contain information regarding other applications. 3. How often will a participant receive the e-mail notification? The Office will send an e-mail notification to the designated e-mail addresses only when there is a new Office communication in the applications associated with the user's Customer Number. If there are multiple new Office communications entered in the applications on the same day, the participant will receive a single e-mail notification listing all of the new Office communications. Therefore, participants will receive a single e-mail notification per day for each Customer Number when there is a new Office communication. 4. When does the time period for reply start? Generally, any time period for reply set forth in the Office communication will commence on the mailroom/notification date indicated on the form PTOL-90 accompanying the Office communication. The mailroom/ notification date is similar to the mailing date of a paper communication. More specifically, for Office actions under 35 U.S.C. 132(a), the mailroom/notification date is the date of the notice under 35 U.S.C. 133. The mailroom/notification date will also be considered the date of mailing of the correspondence for all other purposes (e.g., 37 CFR 1.71(g)(2), 1.97(b), 1.701 through 1.705). However, the two-month time period set forth in 37 CFR 1.304 for filing the notice of appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, or for commencing a civil action, commences on the date of the decision of the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences (BPAI). The time period is not measured from the mailroom/notification date. See also 35 U.S.C. 142. Participants may request extensions of time pursuant to 37 CFR 1.304(a)(3). Once the participant receives an e-mail notification, it is highly recommended that the participant log-on to Private PAIR to view the new Office communication as soon as possible so that the participant may determine whether the communication requires an applicant's reply and when the reply is due. 5. What is a courtesy postcard? The Office will mail a courtesy postcard notifying the applicant if none of the Office communications are viewed or downloaded through Private PAIR within seven (7) calendar days after the date of e-mail notification and at least one of the Office communications requires an applicant's reply. The courtesy postcard will be mailed to the correspondence address associated with the Customer Number. The mailing of a courtesy postcard will not restart any time period for
June 2, 2009 | US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE | 1343 OG 47 |
reply, which will continue to run from the mailroom/notification date indicated on the form PTOL-90 accompanying the communication. 6. What types of applications are included in the e-Office Action program? The program includes the following types of applications: a. Provisional applications; b. Nonprovisional applications filed under 35 U.S.C. 111 (including utility, plant, design, and reissue applications); and c. National stage applications filed under 35 U.S.C. 371. However, the following applications and proceedings are not included in the program: a. International applications that have not entered the national stage in the United States; b. Reexamination proceedings; and c. Interference proceedings. 7. Which business units in the Office are participating in the program? Participating business units Participants will receive e-mail notifications for all Office communications prepared by the following participating business units: a. Technology Centers (including the examining corps) that enter Office actions and notices, including notices of allowance; b. The Office of Patent Application Processing (formerly Office of Initial Patent Examination (OIPE)) that enters application formality review notices, including notices to file missing parts; c. The Office of Data Management (Pre-Grant Publications and Office of Publications) that enters notices of publication and issues patents; d. The Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences (BPAI) for ex parte appeals of rejections of claims in patent applications; e. The Office of Petitions; and f. The Office of Licensing and Review. Non-participating business units Since several areas of the Office have independent mailing processes, participants will continue to receive paper mailings for communications prepared by the non-participating business units including (but not limited to): a. The PCT Operations Division, International Branch; b. The BPAI for interference proceedings and reexamination proceedings; c. The Central Reexamination Unit (CRU) for ex parte reexamination and inter partes reexamination proceedings; d. The Office of Enrollment and Discipline; and e. The Office of the Solicitor. 8. Can a participant withdraw from the program? Participants may opt out of the program at any time. To change back to PAPER Delivery of any subsequent Office communications, Private PAIR users must: a. Log-on to Private PAIR and select the Customer Number Details screen; b. Select the "Request Customer Data Change" button; and c. Select the "Receive Correspondence via Postal Mail" option on the Customer Number details screen. Any Office communications that are prepared after the withdrawal is recognized by the Office will be mailed to the correspondence address associated with the application. However, if the Office communication has
June 2, 2009 | US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE | 1343 OG 48 |
been prepared before the withdrawal is recognized by the Office, the Office communication may be processed under the ELECTRONIC Notification procedure. This means the Office may send an e-mail notification for the communication rather than mailing a paper copy of the communication. During the transition period, participants may receive some Office communications in paper (those that were prepared after the withdrawal is recognized) and electronic notifications for those that were prepared before the withdrawal is recognized. Therefore, it is important for the participants to check their designated e-mail addresses for e-mail notifications and review the Office communications via Private PAIR, even after withdrawing from the program. Furthermore, the participants may receive courtesy postcards for any unviewed communication (that has a time period for reply) for which an e-mail notification was sent. Please also note that switching repeatedly within a few days between ELECTRONIC Notification and PAPER Delivery may result in delays in receiving e-mail notifications or paper Office communications. 9. Can a participant change or add e-mail addresses? Participants may change the e-mail addresses at any time. To change or add an e-mail address, participant must: a. Log-on to Private PAIR and select the Customer Number Details screen; b. Select the "Request Customer Data Change" button; and c. Change or add the e-mail address to receive e-mail notifications for Office communications entered in the applications associated with the Customer Number. The user may designate up to three e-mail addresses. The PAIR system will send a test e-mail to each of the new e-mail addresses. 10. Who should the participant contact if he or she did not receive an e-mail notification for an Office communication? The participant should contact the Patent Electronic Business Center (Patent EBC) (see the contact information below) if an Office communication is available in Private PAIR but participant did not receive an e-mail notification for the Office communication. The Office will take appropriate corrective actions. For example, the Office will send participant an e-mail notification if an e-mail notification was not previously sent to the designated e-mail addresses. Any time period for reply (except for the two-month period under 37 CFR 1.304) set forth in the Office communication will be restarted when the Office sends the e-mail notification. For more information on time period for reply, see item 4 above. However, if the Office did send an e-mail notification to each of the e-mail addresses designated by the user, the Office will not send a new e-mail notification and any time period for reply set forth in the Office communication will not be restarted. The time period for reply will continue to run from the original mailroom/notification date. Therefore, it is important for the user to designate the correct e-mail addresses when the user signs up for the program. 11. Who should the participant contact if an improper communication has been scanned into the application? The participant should contact the Patent EBC if he or she discovers that an improper communication has been scanned into the application file, so that the Office can take appropriate corrective actions. For example, if the improper communication belongs to another application, the Office will move the communication to the correct application. The Office will send a new e-mail notification when a proper communication is available and
June 2, 2009 | US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE | 1343 OG 49 |
retrievable through Private PAIR. Please note that the IFW document code on the e-mail notification is informal (unofficial) information. If there is any discrepancy between the document code on the e-mail notification and the communication available through Private PAIR, the image of the Office communication is the official record. The Office will not send a new e-mail notification for an incorrect document code on the e-mail notification. If an Office communication contains some error that affects applicant's ability to reply to the Office communication and this error is called to the attention of the Office in writing within one month of the e-mail date, the Office will follow the procedure set forth in MPEP § 710.06. 12. Who should the participant contact if the e-mail notification is delivered a few days later than the mailroom/notification date? If the Office communication (e.g., an application filing receipt or a notice of publication) does not require a reply from applicant and it does not have a time period for reply, it is not necessary for the participant to contact the Office. However, if the Office communication requires a reply and it sets forth a time period for reply, the participant should call the Patent EBC within one month from the e-mail date so that the Office will be able to reset the time period for reply (except for the two-month period under 37 CFR 1.304) to the original e-mail date. For more information on time period for reply, see item 4 above. For example, an e-mail notification sent on February 6, 2009, indicates that an Office action with a mailroom/notification date of February 2, 2009, has been entered in the application. The time period for reply set forth in the Office action commences on the mailroom/notification date (February 2, 2009). If the participant contacts the Patent EBC within one month from the e-mail date (February 6, 2009), the Office will reset the time period for reply to commence on February 6, 2009. 13. How can a participant identify the e-mail notification sent from the Office? The e-mail notification will have the following in the subject line: "Private PAIR Correspondence Notification for Customer Number xxx." "xxx" is the participant's Customer Number. The sender's address is "PAIR_eOfficeAction@uspto.gov". Any inquiries regarding the e-mail notification should be directed to Patent EBC. Participants should not reply to the PAIR e-Office Action e-mail address. 14. Does the e-Office Action change the policy for communications via the Internet? By registering for the e-Office Action program, participant is authorizing the Office to send e-mail notifications of Office communications entered by the participating Office business units in the applications associated with the Customer Number. The e-Office Action program does not, otherwise, change the policy for communications via the Internet set forth in the Manual of Patent Examining Procedure (MPEP) § 502.03. The e-Office Action program does not alter the Office policy prohibiting an applicant or examiner from engaging in improper e-mail correspondence. For example, applicant may not send a reply to an Office action to the Office via e-mail, and the examiner may not send an Office action to the applicant via e-mail. See MPEP § 502.03. 15.
