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

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

Continuation of the
Patent Prosecution Highway Pilot Program
between the USPTO and EPO
On September 29, 2008, the United States Patent and Trademark Office
(USPTO) commenced a Patent Prosecution Highway pilot program (PPH) which
enabled an applicant whose claims have been determined allowable/patentable
in an application filed in the European Patent Office (EPO) to have the
corresponding application filed in the USPTO advanced out of turn for
examination. See notice entitled "Patent Prosecution Highway Pilot Program
between the United States Patent and Trademark Office and European Patent
Office," 1335 Off. Gaz. Pat. Office 196 (October 21, 2008). The USPTO
indicated that the pilot program would last for a period of one year ending
on September 29, 2009, but may be extended for an additional time period
thereafter.
In order to adequately assess the feasibility of the PPH pilot program,
the USPTO and EPO have agreed to extend the pilot for an additional year
ending on September 30, 2010, in order to collect more information before
any formal decision on the program is made.
In addition, the USPTO and EPO along with the Japan Patent Office (JPO)
are considering a possible expansion of PPH eligibility requirements such
as permitting PPH requests to be made on the basis of PCT international
phase work. More information on these developments will be made in due
course. Please continue to direct inquiries on the PPH pilot program to
Magdalen Greenlief at 571-272-8800 or via e-mail addressed to

| Trademark Examination Guides 01-09 and 02-09 on Deceptiveness Refusals |
DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Patent and Trademark Office
[Docket No. PTO-T-2009-0026]
Trademark Examination Guides 01-09 and 02-09 on
Deceptiveness Refusals
AGENCY: United States Patent and Trademark Office, Commerce.
ACTION: Notice
SUMMARY: The United States Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO" or "Office")
is publishing two Trademark Examination Guides ("Guides") regarding
deceptiveness refusals for non-geographic and geographic marks. These Guides,
issued on May 11, 2009, are being published to give members of the public
notice of them in addition to the notice already provided on the USPTO's Web
site. Members of the public may submit comments regarding the Guides.
Comments will be given consideration in connection with developing future
examination guidance dealing with the subjects of the Guides.
ADDRESSES: The Office prefers that any comments be submitted via electronic
mail message to TMFRNotices@uspto.gov. Written comments may also be submitted
by mail addressed to: Commissioner for Trademarks, P.O. Box 1451, Alexandria,
VA 22313-1451, marked to the attention of Cynthia C. Lynch; or by hand
delivery to the Trademark Assistance Center, Concourse Level, James Madison
Building - East Wing, 600 Dulany Street, Alexandria, Virginia, marked to the
attention of Cynthia C. Lynch.
The comments will be available for public inspection on the Office's Web
site at http://www.uspto.gov and will also be available at the Office of the
Commissioner for Trademarks, Madison East, Tenth Floor, 600 Dulany Street,
Alexandria, Virginia. Because comments will be made available for public
inspection, information that is not desired to be made public, such as an
address or phone number, should not be included in the comments.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Cynthia C. Lynch, Office of the Deputy
Commissioner for Trademark Examination Policy, by electronic mail at:
cynthia.lynch@uspto.gov; or by mail addressed to: Commissioner for Trademarks,
P.O. Box 1451, Alexandria, VA 22313-1451, marked to the attention of
Cynthia C. Lynch.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 11, 2009, the Office issued Examination
Guides 01-09 and 02-09 regarding examination procedures for marks that may be
deceptive under either section 2(a) or section 2(e)(3). Section 2(a) of the
Trademark Act, 15 U.S.C. 1052(a), prohibits, inter alia, the registration of
deceptive matter. Section 2(e)(3) of the Trademark Act, 15 U.S.C. 1052(e)(3),
prohibits the registration of primarily geographically deceptively
misdescriptive marks. Each Guide reviews and discusses case law regarding:
(1) The elements of the refusal; (2) evidentiary issues with respect to the
refusal; and (3) procedures for issuing refusals. The Guides may be found on
the Office's Web site at:
http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/tac/notices/notices.htm.
The purpose of these Guides is to promote consistency in examination and
to provide guidance to examining attorneys regarding when deceptiveness
refusals must be issued. These Guides do not constitute substantive
rulemaking and hence do not have the force and effect of law. They have been
developed as a matter of internal Office management and are not intended to
create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable by any
party against the Office. To the extent that earlier guidance from the Office,
including certain sections of the Trademark Manual of Examining Procedure
(TMEP), 5th edition, is inconsistent with the guidance set forth in the
Guides, Office personnel are to follow the Guides. The next revision of the
TMEP will be updated accordingly.
| October 20, 2009 |
US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE |
1347 OG 172 |
Any member of the public may submit written comments on either or both of
the Guides. The Office will consider any comments received in connection
with developing future examination guidance dealing with the subjects of the
Guides. Persons submitting comments should note that the USPTO does not plan
to provide a response to or analysis of any comments, as these Guides are not
notices of proposed rulemaking.

United States Patent and Trademark Office
| Enhanced First Action Interview Pilot Program |
Enhanced First Action Interview Pilot Program
I. Summary: The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) conducted
the First Action Interview Pilot Program in which applicants in certain art
areas could participate. See First Action Interview Pilot Program, 1329 Off.
Gaz. Pat. Office 159 (April 22, 2008). Under the program, participants were
permitted to conduct an interview with the examiner after reviewing a Pre-
Interview Communication providing the result of a prior art search conducted
by the examiner. Participants experienced many benefits including: (1) the
ability to advance prosecution of an application; (2) enhanced interaction
between applicant and the examiner; (3) the opportunity to resolve
patentability issues one-on-one with the examiner at the beginning of the
prosecution process; and (4) the opportunity to facilitate possible early
allowance. Based upon comments and suggestions from the public, including
both participants and non-participants, the Office is expanding the First
Action Interview Pilot Program to other art areas and modifying the procedure
under the program to enhance efficiency and provide more options to
participants.
Currently, granting an interview before first action on the merits of a
new application is within the discretion of the examiner and a showing may
be required to justify the granting of the interview. See Manual of Patent
Examining Procedure (MPEP) § 713.02. The First Action Interview Pilot
Program, however, provides a procedure which, if followed, makes the
granting of an interview non-discretionary.
For those applicants who are eligible and wish to participate in the pilot
program, applicants must file a request electronically 1. When the application
is taken up for examination, the examiner will conduct a prior art search and
provide applicant a Pre-Interview Communication that includes citations to
prior art references from the prior art search (similarly to a search report)
and an identification of any rejections and/or objections, if at least one
claim is not allowable.
Once the applicant reviews the prior art references, applicant must either
file a request to not have a first action interview with the examiner, or
schedule the interview and file a proposed amendment or remarks (arguments),
within one month or thirty days from the mailing or notification date 2. of
the Pre-Interview Communication. If applicant chooses not to have a first
action interview, a First Action Interview Office Action will be promptly
entered and applicant will have one month or thirty days, whichever is longer,
to reply. If an interview is scheduled, applicant must be prepared to discuss
issues related to the patentability of the claims. If the applicant and the
examiner reach agreement during the interview on all claims at issue in
regard to patentability, a Notice of Allowability and Notice of Allowance and
Fees Due will be issued promptly after the interview. If agreement is not
reached on all claims in regard to patentability, at the conclusion of the
interview, applicant may be given a courtesy copy of a First Action Interview
Office Action, which will set forth the requirements, objections, and
rejections. Applicant will be given one month or thirty days, whichever is
longer, from the mailing or notification date of the First Action Interview
Office Action to reply, with limited extensions of time.
II. Effective Date: The effective date for the Enhanced First Action
Interview Pilot Program is October 1, 2009. The pilot program will last for
six months, until April 1, 2010. Any request for a First Action Interview
filed on or after October 1, 2009, and before April 1, 2010, in an
application that is eligible, will be granted if all of the requirements set
forth in the Requirements section of this notice are satisfied. See section
III (Eligibility) and section IV (Requirements) for more information.
III. Eligibility: New utility nonprovisional applications that fall within
one of the following groups may be eligible for the Enhanced First Action
Interview Pilot Program:

Class and art unit assignment data are available via the Patent
Application Information Retrieval System (PAIR) at Public PAIR link
http://portal.uspto.gov/external/portal/pair.
The actual filing date of an application filed under 35 U.S.C. 111(a), and
the international filing date of a national stage application, will determine
the eligibility. A continuing application may be eligible for participation,
if it complies with the requirements and eligibility of this notice.
IV. Requirements: A request for a first action interview will be granted in
an application that is eligible for the Enhanced First Action Interview Pilot
Program (as indicated above) if the following conditions are satisfied:
(1) The application must be a non-reissue, non-provisional utility
application filed under 35 U.S.C. 111(a), or an international
application that has entered the national stage in compliance with
35 U.S.C. 371(c).
(2) The application must contain three or fewer independent claims and
twenty or fewer total claims. The application must not contain any
multiple dependent claims. For an application that contains more than
three independent claims or twenty total claims, or multiple dependent
claims, applicants may file a preliminary amendment in compliance
with 37 CFR 1.121 to cancel the excess claims and/or the multiple
dependent claims.
(3) The claims must be directed to a single invention. If the Office
| October 20, 2009 |
US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE |
1347 OG 175 |
determines that the claims are directed to multiple inventions (e.g.,
in a restriction requirement), the applicant must make an election
without traverse or withdraw from the pilot program.
(4) The request for a first action interview must be filed electronically
using the USPTO's electronic filing system, EFS-Web. Applicant should
use form PTO/SB/413C, which is available on the USPTO Web site at
http://www.uspto.gov/web/forms/index.html.
(5) The request must be filed at least one day before a first Office
action on the merits of the application appears in the Patent
Application Information Retrieval (PAIR) system (i.e., at least one
day prior to the date when a first Office action on the merits, notice
of allowability or allowance, or action under Ex parte Quayle, 1935
Dec. Comm'r Pat. 11 (1935) appears in the PAIR system). Applicant may
check the status of the application using the PAIR system.
(6) The request for a first action interview must include a statement that
applicant agrees not to file a request for a refund of the search fee
and any excess claim fees paid in the application after the mailing or
notification date of the Pre-Interview Communication. See form
PTO/SB/413C. Any petition for express abandonment under 37 CFR
1.138(d) and request for a refund of search fee and any excess claim
fees filed after the mailing or notification date of a Pre-Interview
Communication will not be granted.
The application under the Enhanced First Action Interview Pilot Program
will not be advanced out of turn for examination, but most likely will be
taken up for examination in the order of its effective United States filing
date in accordance with MPEP § 708. Thus, a petition to make special under
37 CFR 1.102(c) is not required for an application to be eligible for the
Enhanced First Action Interview Pilot Program. Furthermore, no additional
fees are required for participation in the pilot program.
V. Improper Requests for First Action Interview Pilot Program: If applicant
files a Request for First Action Interview Pilot Program (PTO/SB/413C) that
does not comply with the requirements set forth in this notice, the Office
will notify the applicant of the deficiency by issuing a Notice of Non-
Compliant First Action Interview Request (PTOL-413NC). If applicant still
wishes to participate in the Enhanced First Action Interview Pilot Program,
applicant must file a proper request and make appropriate corrections within
one month or thirty days, whichever is longer. This time period for reply is
not extendable under 37 CFR 1.136(a). If applicant fails to correct the
deficiency indicated in the Notice of Non-Compliant First Action Interview
Request within the time period set forth therein, the application will not be
eligible for the Enhanced First Office Action Interview Pilot Program and the
examiner will proceed with the preparation of a first Office action on the
merits of the application in due course.
VI. Requirement for Restriction: If the application contains two or more
independent and distinct inventions, the examiner may make a requirement for
restriction in accordance with current restriction practice prior to
conducting a search. The examiner will contact the applicant and follow the
procedure for the telephone restriction practice set forth in MPEP § 812.01.
If applicant makes an election during the telephone interview, the election
must be made without traverse in order to stay in the pilot program. When an
oral election is made, the examiner will provide a complete record of the
telephone election, including the restriction requirement and applicant's
election, as an attachment to the Pre-Interview Communication on the elected
invention.
If applicant cannot make an election over the phone, or the examiner
cannot reach the applicant after a reasonable effort (not to exceed three
business days), the examiner will issue a restriction requirement in
accordance with current policy and practice. See MPEP § 814 et seq. When
applicant makes an election in response to the written restriction, the
| October 20, 2009 |
US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE |
1347 OG 176 |
election must be made without traverse in order to stay in the pilot program.
After an appropriate election is made without traverse in an application with
a compliant request for a First Action Interview, the examiner will proceed
with the preparation of the Pre-Interview Communication.
VII. Pre-Interview Communication: If the application contains only one
invention or applicant has elected one invention without traverse, the
examiner will conduct a prior art search for the claimed invention under
consideration. If the examiner determines that the application is in
condition for allowance or the application could be placed in condition for
allowance with minor corrections or a possible amendment or submission, a
First Action Interview under the pilot program will not be necessary. The
examiner may allow the application, or contact the applicant and conduct a
regular interview in accordance with MPEP § 713 to discuss any possible
amendment or submission to place the application in condition for allowance.
Otherwise, the examiner will prepare a Pre-Interview Communication
(PTOL-413FP) and a Notice of References Cited (PTO-892) citing the prior art
references and identifying any rejections or objections. The Pre-Interview
Communication will set forth a time period of one month or thirty days,
whichever is longer. In response to the suggestions from the participants in
the initial pilot program, the Office will permit applicant to extend this
time period for reply pursuant to 37 CFR 1.136(a) for one additional month
under the enhanced First Action Interview pilot program. See section VIII,
subsection B (Applicant's Options and Reply to Pre-Interview Communication)
and subsection C (Failure to Respond to Pre-Interview Communication).
The examiner's typical working schedule will also be provided with the
Pre-Interview Communication so applicant will be aware of the examiner's
availability when scheduling the interview.
VIII. Post Pre-Interview Communication
A. Amendments Filed After Pre-Interview Communication: Once a Pre-Interview
Communication has been entered in an application, applicant no longer has a
right to amend the application until the first action interview is conducted
and the First Action Interview Office Action is mailed. Therefore, any
amendments filed before the interview and the mailing or notification date of
a First Action Interview Office Action (PTOL-413FA), will not be entered,
unless approved by the examiner or in accordance with the procedure of the
enhanced First Action Interview pilot program in section VIII, subsection
B(2), or section IX, subsection B(3), of this notice. This is because the
examiner has devoted a significant amount of time to the preparation of the
Pre-Interview Communication. See 37 CFR 1.115(b) and MPEP § 714.01(e). The
Office may enter the amendment if it is clearly limited to: cancellation of
claims; adoption of examiner suggestions; placement of the application
in prima facie condition for allowance; and/or correction of informalities
(similar to the treatment of an after-final amendment). Amendments will be
entered solely at the examiner's discretion.
B. Applicant Options and Reply to Pre-Interview Communication: Upon receipt
of a Pre-Interview Communication, the applicant has three options:
(1) File a request to NOT have a first action interview waiving the first
action interview;
(2) File a reply under 37 CFR 1.111 waiving the first action interview and
First Action Interview Office Action - applicant is accepting that the
Pre-Interview Communication is the first Office action on the merits;
or
(3) Schedule the first action interview - applicant must file an Applicant
Initiated Interview Request Form (PTOL-413A) electronically via
EFS-Web, accompanied by a proposed amendment or arguments, and
schedule the interview to be conducted within two months or sixty
days, whichever is longer, from the filing of the Applicant Initiated
Interview Request.
| October 20, 2009 |
US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE |
1347 OG 177 |
1. Request to Not Have a First Action Interview: If applicant wishes not to
have the first action interview, applicant should electronically file a
letter requesting to not have a first action interview within the time period
set forth in the Pre-Interview Communication. For this situation, a first
action interview will not be conducted and the examiner will provide the
First Action Interview Office Action to set forth the requirements,
objections, and rejections, in due course. However, such a request will not
preclude the examiner from contacting the applicant and conducting a regular
interview in accordance with MPEP § 713 to discuss any issues or possible
amendment to place the application in condition for allowance. To ensure that
the request will be processed and recognized timely, applicant should file
the request electronically via EFS-Web, selecting the document description
"Request to Not Have a First Action Interview" on the EFS-Web screen.
Once a Pre-Interview Communication has been prepared (one day before it
appears in PAIR), withdrawal from the program is not permitted. The Office
will treat a request for withdrawal from the pilot program filed after the
mailing or notification of a Pre-Interview Communication as a request to not
conduct an interview, and enter a First Action Interview-Office Action, in
due course.
2. File a Reply under 37 CFR 1.111, Waiving the First Action Interview and
First Action Interview Office Action: Many participants of the initial pilot
program thought that the Pre-Interview Communication provided sufficient
notice of the rejections, objections, and requirements. These participants
wanted to file a reply under 37 CFR 1.111 to the Pre-Interview Communication
directly without an interview and the First Action Interview Office Action,
to advance prosecution and reduce pendency. Therefore, under the enhanced
First Action Interview pilot program, the Office is permitting applicants to
file, in conjunction with a request to not conduct the interview, a reply in
compliance with 37 CFR 1.111(b)-(c) to address every rejection, objection and
requirement set forth in the Pre-Interview Communication, thereby waiving the
first action interview and First Action Interview Office Action. The reply
under 37 CFR 1.111 must be filed within the time period for reply set forth
in the Pre-Interview Communication. To ensure that the request will be
processed and recognized timely, applicant should file the request
electronically via EFS-Web, selecting the document description "Reply under
1.111 to Pre-Interview Communication" on the EFS-Web screen.
In this situation, a first action interview will not be conducted and a
First Action Interview Office Action will not be provided to the applicant.
The Pre-Interview Communication will be deemed the first Office action on the
merits. The examiner will consider the reply under 37 CFR 1.111 and provide
an Office action in response to the reply, in due course. The Office action
will be the second Office action on the merits, and thus it could be a final
Office action, a notice of allowability, or other appropriate action.
3. Schedule the First Action Interview: If applicant wants a first action
interview with the examiner, applicant must timely file an Applicant
Initiated Interview Request Form (PTOL-413A), electronically using EFS-Web,
accompanied by a proposed amendment and/or arguments (as an attachment to
the request). To ensure that the request will be processed and recognized
timely, applicant should select the document description "First Action
Interview - Schedule Interview Request."
Applicant must also designate a proposed date for the interview to
schedule the first action interview. The applicant's proposed date for the
interview must be within two months or sixty days, whichever is longer, from
the filing of the Applicant Initiated Interview Request Form. Applicants
should consult the examiner's work schedule provided in the Pre-Interview
Communication and discuss with the examiner the best date for conducting the
interview.
After filing the Applicant Initiated Interview Request Form, applicant
must contact the examiner to confirm the interview date. The applicant's
failure to conduct an interview within two months or sixty days, whichever is
| October 20, 2009 |
US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE |
1347 OG 178 |
longer, from the filing of Applicant Initiated Interview Request Form will be
treated as a failure to respond to the Pre-Interview Communication. See
section VIII, subsection C (Failure to Respond to Pre-Interview Communication).
The interview may be in person, telephonic or a video-conference. Applicant
must provide written authorization to conduct any Internet e-mail
communications with the examiner. See MPEP § 502.03 for more information.
The proposed amendment or arguments must be clearly labeled as "PROPOSED"
at the header or footer of each page of the proposed amendment or arguments
and filed electronically via EFS-Web as an attachment to the Applicant
Initiated Interview Request Form. The proposed amendment or arguments will
not be entered as a matter of right. The examiner, based upon discussions,
feedback and agreement with applicant during the interview may at his or her
discretion enter the amendment if found sufficient to advance prosecution on
the merits. See MPEP §§ 713.01 III and 713.04; see also MPEP §§ 714 and
1302.04. If the examiner denies entry of the proposed amendment, the proposed
amendment will be placed in the application file.
Preparation for the Interview: Applicant must be prepared to fully discuss
the prior art of record, any of the relevant interview talking points and any
rejections or objections with the intent to clarify and resolve all issues
with respect to patentability during the interview. Applicant must also be
prepared to discuss any proposed amendment or arguments previously submitted
and discuss and resolve any relevant issues that arise. A non-exhaustive
listing of potential topics for discussion in a first action interview is
available to the public and the patent examining corps to assist and
facilitate comprehensive and effective first action interviews. See the
Interview Talking Points posted on the USPTO Web site at
http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/pac/dapp/opla/preognotice/fai_talking_
points.pdf.
Multiple proposed amendments or sets of arguments are not permitted.
Inventor Participation: Inventor participation in the interview process
is encouraged, as it may assist in the resolution of outstanding rejections
and/or objections.
C. Failure to Respond to Pre-Interview Communication: Under the enhanced
First Action Interview pilot program, if applicant fails to: (1) respond to
the Pre-Interview Communication within the time period for reply, or (2)
conduct the interview within two months or sixty days, whichever is longer,
from the filing of the Applicant Initiated Interview Request Form, the
Office will enter a First Action Interview Office Action. During the original
pilot program, the failure to timely respond to a Pre-Interview Communication
resulted in abandonment of the application. For this enhanced pilot program,
the consequence has been reduced to the entry of a First Action Interview
Office Action without the benefit of an interview.
IX. First-Action Interview and First-Action Interview Office Action
A. First Action Interview: The interview will be conducted in accordance with
the procedure provided in MPEP § 713 except as otherwise provided in this
notice. The interview should focus on and include:
1. A discussion to assist the examiner in developing a better
understanding of the invention;
2. A discussion to establish the state of the art at the time the
invention was made, including the prior art references cited by the
applicant and the examiner; and
3. A discussion of the features of the claimed subject matter which make
the invention patentable, including any proposed amendments to the
claims.
B. There are Three Possible Outcomes of a First-Action Interview:
1. An agreement is reached and all claims are in condition for allowance.
| October 20, 2009 |
US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE |
1347 OG 179 |
At the conclusion of the interview, if applicant and the examiner reach
agreement that the application is in condition for allowance, the
examiner must complete an Interview Summary (PTOL-413), enter and
attach any necessary amendments or arguments (e.g., the proposed
amendment and/or an examiner's amendment), generate a notice of
allowability (PTOL-37) and attach a copy of the completed Applicant
Initiated Interview Request Form. If the examiner agrees to enter the
proposed amendment, the examiner must annotate the proposed amendment
(e.g., "OK to enter") on the first page of the proposed amendment.
In a personal interview, a courtesy copy of the completed forms will be
given to the applicant at the conclusion of the interview. The completed
forms will then be promptly made of record with a Notice of Allowance
and Fees Due (PTOL-85).
2. An agreement as to allowability is not reached. If the applicant and
the examiner do not reach agreement during the interview, the examiner
will set forth the requirements, objections, and rejections in the
First Action Interview Office Action. The examiner will also complete
an Interview Summary, and attach a copy of the completed Applicant
Initiated Interview Request Form and any proposed amendments or
arguments. In a personal interview, a courtesy copy of the completed
forms may be given to the applicant at the conclusion of the interview.
The completed forms will be promptly made of record.
For this situation, the First Action Interview Office Action is the first
Office action on the merits. Because the requirements, objections and grounds
of rejection are provided in the Pre-Interview Communication and the First
Action Interview Office Action, applicant has sufficient notice of the
requirements, objections and grounds of rejection. To avoid abandonment of
the application, applicant must, within one month or thirty days, whichever
is longer, from the mailing or notification date of the First Action
Interview Office Action, file a reply in compliance with 37 CFR 1.111(b)-(c).
This time period for reply is extendable under 37 CFR 1.136(a) for only one
additional month.
3. An agreement as to allowability is not reached and applicant wishes to
convert the previously submitted proposed amendment into a reply under
37 CFR 1.111(b) and waive receipt of a First Action Interview Office
Action.
Many participants of the initial pilot program wanted the examiner to
enter the proposed amendment and/or arguments previously filed as a reply
under 37 CFR 1.111 rather than wait for the First Action Interview Office
Action and then refile the proposed amendment and/or arguments. Therefore,
under the enhanced First Action Interview pilot program, the Office is
permitting applicants to request the Office to enter the previously filed
proposed amendment and/or arguments as a reply under 37 CFR 1.111 to address
every rejection, objection and requirement set forth in the Pre-Interview
Communication, waiving a First Action Interview Office Action, if the
proposed amendment and/or arguments comply with the requirements of 37 CFR
1.121 and 37 CFR 1.111(b)-(c). If the examiner agrees to enter the proposed
amendment as the reply under 37 CFR 1.111 to the Pre-Interview Communication,
the examiner must annotate the proposed amendment (e.g., "OK to enter")
on the first page of the proposed amendment, and provide a statement in the
Interview Summary (e.g., "Applicant requested to enter the proposed amendment
as a reply under 37 CFR 1.111 to the Pre-Interview Communication, waiving the
First Action Interview Office Action"). Applicant cannot file any additional
amendment and/or arguments until the mailing or notification of the next
Office action.
In this situation, a First Action Interview Office Action will not be
provided to the applicant. The Pre-Interview Communication and the interview
will be deemed the first Office action on the merits. The examiner will enter
the proposed amendment and/or arguments, consider it as the reply under
37 CFR 1.111, and provide an Office action in response to the reply. The
Office action will be the second Office action on the merits, and thus it
| October 20, 2009 |
US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE |
1347 OG 180 |
could be a final Office action, a notice of allowability, or other
appropriate action.
C. Substance of Interview Must be Made of Record: A complete written
statement as to the substance of the interview with regard to the merits of
the application must be made of record in the application, whether or not an
agreement with the examiner was reached at the interview. It is the
responsibility of applicant to make the substance of an interview of record,
and it is the examiner's responsibility to see that such a record is made
and to correct inaccuracies, including those which bear directly on the
question of patentability. See MPEP § 713.04.

for the correspondence. See the listing under "Special Mail Stops
Applicable To Both Patent And Trademark Mail" for additional mail stops
for patent-related correspondence. Only the specified type of document
