For information on subject matter under Rule 39 that a particular

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

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.

the United States of America, provided that IP Australia acted as the

Receiving Office where the corresponding demand is filed with IP Australia
and where the application contains one or more claims directed to the
fields of business methods or mechanical engineering or analogous fields of
technology as defined by specified areas of the International Patent

Notice of Exclusion
William F. Prendergast of Chicago, Illinois, registered patent attorney
(Registration Number 34,699). Mr. Prendergast has been excluded from the
practice of patent, trademark, and non-patent law before the United States
Patent and Trademark Office for violating 37 C.F.R. § 10.23(b)(6) via
37 C.F.R. § 10.23(c)(5) by consenting to have his name stricken from the roll
of attorneys licensed to practice in Illinois by the State of Illinois
Supreme Court, a duly constituted authority of a State. The State of Illinois
Supreme Court granted Mr. Prendergast's motion to have his name stricken
from the roll of attorneys licensed to practice law in Illinois at a time
when disciplinary charges were pending against him in that jurisdiction.
Mr. Prendergast admitted to the State of Illinois Supreme Court that, if
disciplinary proceedings were to have been brought against him, the evidence
would clearly and convincingly establish violation of that jurisdiction's code
of professional responsibility predicated upon, inter alia: allowing at least
twenty-four (24) patent applications to become abandoned without the consent
of the clients, falsely informing his law firm's docketing department that the
clients had consented to the abandonments, and concealing the abandonments
from the clients via the fabrication of documents and other false pretenses.
This action is taken pursuant to the provisions of 35 U.S.C. §§ 2(b)(2)(D)
and 32, and 37 C.F.R. §§ 11.24 and 11.59. Disciplinary decisions involving
practitioners are posted for public reading at the Office of Enrollment and

and knowingly violating any rule or order of the court by advising his
client to discontinue making payments to an ex-spouse in violation of a

Notice of Reprimand
Erik B. Jensen of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, an attorney licensed by the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Mr. Jensen has been publicly reprimanded by
the United States Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO" or "Office") for
violating 37 C.F.R. § 10.47 by aiding another in the unauthorized practice
of law before the Office. Mr. Jensen is authorized to practice trademark law
before the Office, but he is not a registered patent practitioner and is not
authorized to practice patent law before the Office.
With his client's consent, Mr. Jensen hired a corporation service company
to assist him in filing a trademark application for the client. Mr. Jensen
knew that the company's employee assigned to work on the application was not
an attorney, but Mr. Jensen permitted the employee to sign and file trademark
papers in the Office, including the application and a reply to an Office
communication. Mr. Jensen knew or should have known that the actions of the
company's employee constituted the unauthorized practice of trademark law
before the USPTO.
This action is the result of a settlement agreement between Mr. Jensen
and the OED Director pursuant to the provisions of 35 U.S.C. § 2(b)(2)(D)
and 37 C.F.R. §§ 11.26 and 11.59. Disciplinary decisions involving
