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

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 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.

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 IP Australia acted as the
International Searching Authority. However, IP Australia is not 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 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
Classification System, as indicated in Annex A to the agreement between the
USPTO and IP Australia. See the notice appearing in the Official Gazette
at 1337 O.G. 261 on December 23, 2008.

Notice of Suspension
                             Notice of Suspension

   Anthony Campbell of Austin, Texas, registered patent attorney
(Registration No. 39,619). Mr. Campbell has been suspended for sixty (60)
months by the United States Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO" or
"Office") for violating 37 C.F.R. §§ 10.23(c)(8) by failing to inform
clients of correspondence received from the Office when the correspondence
(i) could have a significant effect on a matter pending before the Office,
(ii) is received by the practitioner on behalf of a client or former
client, and (iii) is correspondence of which a reasonable practitioner
would believe under the circumstances the client or former client should be
notified; 10.62(a) by accepting referred clients from a referring entity
without the consent of the referred client after full disclosure, including
not adequately describing the escrow and payment arrangement for patent
legal services performed for ISC-referred Clients, where the exercise of a
practitioner's independent professional judgment on behalf of the referred
client will be or reasonably may be affected by the practitioner's own
financial, business, property, or personal interests (e.g., Mr. Campbell's
business relationship with the referring entity); 10.66(a) by not declining
employment from a referring entity where the exercise of the practitioner's
independent professional judgment on behalf of a client will be or is
likely to be adversely affected by the acceptance of the proffered
employment, without first obtaining the consent of each client to the
representation after full disclosure of the possible effect of such
representation on the exercise of the practitioner's independent
professional judgment on behalf of each; and 10.77(c) by failing to act on
legal matters entrusted to him, including not communicating with referred
clients adequately and in a timely manner.

   Under the terms of the settlement agreement, Mr. Campbell is eligible to
request reinstatement after serving fifteen (15) months of his 60-month
suspension subject to certain conditions and, if reinstated, Mr. Campbell
will be permitted to practice before the Office. Mr. Campbell is also
required to serve a probationary period.

   Invention Submission Corporation ("ISC") is a company that solicited and
contracted with inventors who hoped to obtain patents on their inventions.
ISC arranged with patent practitioners, like Respondent, to prosecute patent
applications for the inventors before the Office. Between 2002 and 2006,
ISC referred a large volume of clients to Mr. Campbell. Generally speaking:
(a) Mr. Campbell did not speak with ISC-referred clients about their
inventions, the patent legal services he intended to render on their behalf,
the patentability opinion provided by ISC, or the patent prosecution
process before the Office; (b) Mr. Campbell did not divulge the actual or
potential conflict of interest that ISC's purported escrowing of attorney
fees presented to Respondent's representation of ISC-referred clients'
interests; (c) Mr. Campbell did not divulge his business relationship with
ISC to ISC-referred clients nor the actual or potential conflict of interest
that it presented in representing their interests, nor did he obtain
ISC-referred clients' consent after full disclosure to represent them in
light of his business relationship with ISC; and (d) during the course of
the prosecution of their patent applications: Mr. Campbell did not engage
in pre-filing discussions with ISC-referred clients about their patent
applications and the documents accompanying the initial filing of patent
applications, did not timely inform ISC-referred clients of Office actions,
did not adequately explain to ISC-referred clients the significance of
Office actions, did not adequately counsel ISC-referred clients on options
when responding to Office actions, did not adequately advise ISC-referred
clients about the legal consequences of those options, did not adequately
advise ISC-referred clients about the legal consequences of not responding
to Office actions, did not adequately assist ISC-referred clients in making
decisions regarding Office actions, took action on their applications
without their knowledge, did not keep ISC-referred clients fully and timely
apprised of the status of their applications directly and/or through
adequate supervision of his staff, allowed certain applications of
 March 15, 2011 US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE 1364 OG 200 

ISC-referred clients to become abandoned without the clients' consent, and
did not provide sufficient legal advice to an ISC-referred client when the
client's patent application became abandoned. Mr. Campbell voluntarily
discontinued receiving referrals from ISC in 2006.

   The OED Director considered the following mitigating factors in reaching
this settlement: (a) Mr. Campbell has no prior disciplinary history before
the Office during the nearly fifteen years he has been registered as a
patent practitioner; (b) Mr. Campbell provided evidence of the positive
changes he has made in his law office management, including the manner in
which he communicates with his clients; and (c) Mr. Campbell cooperated
with the Office of Enrollment and Discipline and the Office of the
Solicitor during the investigation and resolution of this matter. It is
also noted that Mr. Campbell has agreed to pay restitution in the total
amount of eight thousand and eighty-five dollars ($8,085.00).

   This action is taken pursuant to a settlement agreement between Mr.
Campbell and the USPTO pursuant to the provisions of 35 U.S.C. §§ 2(b)(2)(D)
and 32, and 37 C.F.R. §§ 11.20, 11.26, and 11.59. Disciplinary decisions
regarding practitioners are posted electronically in the Office of
Enrollment and Discipline's Reading Room located at:

Patent Prosecution Highway Pilot Program between the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the Mexican Institute of Industrial Property

Patent Prosecution Highway Pilot Program between the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the Mexican Institute of Industrial Property

I. Background

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has established a 2010-2015 Strategic Plan to transform the USPTO into a more quality-focused, highly productive, responsive organization supporting a market-driven intellectual property system. One of the specific action items of the 2010-2015 Strategic Plan is to share search results with other intellectual property offices. By relying on the search results obtained via partnerships with other intellectual property offices, the USPTO can reduce duplication of efforts and decrease workload.

From July 2006 to January 2008, the USPTO partnered with the Japan Patent Office (JPO) to establish the first Patent Prosecution Highway pilot program (PPH). The PPH leverages accelerated examination procedures already available in both offices to allow applicants in both offices to obtain corresponding patents faster and more efficiently. The PPH also permits each office to benefit from the work previously done by the other office, in turn helping to reduce workload and improve patent quality. The USPTO and the JPO began full implementation of the PPH program on January 4, 2008.

The USPTO commenced a PPH pilot program with the Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO) on January 28, 2008. The pilot program ended on January 28, 2009, and full implementation of the PPH program began on January 29, 2009.

USPTO has also commenced separate PPH pilot programs with the United Kingdom Intellectual Property Office (UK IPO), the Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO), IP Australia (IPAU), the European Patent Office (EPO), the Danish Patent and Trademark Office (DKPTO), the Intellectual Property Office of Singapore (IPOS), the German Patent and Trade Mark Office (DPMA), the National Board of Patents and Registration of Finland (NBPR), the Hungarian Patent Office (HPO), the Russian Patent Office (Rospatent), the Spanish Patent and Trademark Office (SPTO), and the Austrian Patent Office (APO) based on the same or similar framework as the PPH between the USPTO and JPO.

Following on these partnerships, the USPTO and the Mexican Institute of Industrial Property (IMPI) have agreed to launch a PPH pilot program similar to the PPH pilot programs noted above.

II. Patent Prosecution Highway Pilot Program

The PPH was established to enable an applicant whose claims are determined to be allowable/patentable in the Office of First Filing (OFF) to have the corresponding application filed in the Office of Second Filing (OSF) advanced out of turn for examination while at the same time allowing the OSF to exploit the search and examination results of the OFF.

Where the USPTO is the OFF and the U.S. application contains claims that are determined to be allowable/patentable, the applicant may request accelerated examination at IMPI for the corresponding application filed with IMPI as the OSF. The procedures and requirements for filing a request with IMPI for participation in the PPH pilot program will be available on March 1, 2011, from the IMPI Web site at: http://www.impi.gob.mx.

Where the USPTO is the OSF and the corresponding application filed with IMPI as the OFF contains claims that are determined to be allowable/patentable, the applicant may request participation in the PPH pilot program in the USPTO and request that the U.S. application be advanced out of turn for examination by order of the Director to expedite the business of the Office under 37 CFR 1.102(a). Note that the procedures for a petition to make special under the accelerated examination program set forth in MPEP § 708.02(a) do NOT apply to a request for expedited examination by order of the Director to expedite the business of the Office under 37 CFR 1.102(a). The procedures and requirements for filing a request in the USPTO for participation in the PPH pilot program are set forth below in Section B.

A. Trial Period for the PPH Pilot Program

The PPH pilot program will commence on March 1, 2011, for a period of one year ending on February 29, 2012. The trial period may be extended for up to an additional year if necessary to adequately assess the feasibility of the PPH program. The USPTO and IMPI will evaluate the results of the pilot program to determine whether and how the program should be fully implemented after the trial period. The offices may also terminate the PPH pilot program early if the volume of participation exceeds a manageable level, or for any other reason. Notice will be published if the PPH pilot program will be terminated before the February 29, 2012 date.

B. Requirements for Requesting Participation in the PPH Pilot Program in the USPTO

In order to be eligible to participate in the PPH pilot program, the following conditions must be met:

(1) The U.S. application is

    (a) a Paris Convention application that either
    (i) validly claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119(a) and 37 CFR 1.55 to one or more applications filed with IMPI, or
    (ii) validly claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §§ 119(a)/365(a) to a Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) application that contains no priority claims,
    or
   
(b) a national stage application under the PCT (an application which entered the national stage in the U.S. from a PCT international application after compliance with 35 U.S.C. § 371), in which the PCT application
    (i) validly claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 365(b) to an application filed with IMPI, or
    (ii) validly claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 365(b) to a PCT application that contains no priority claims, or
    (iii) contains no priority claim,
    or
   
(c) a so-called bypass application filed under 35 U.S.C. § 111(a) which validly claims benefit under 35 U.S.C. § 120 to a PCT application, in which the PCT application
    (i) validly claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 365(b) to an application filed with IMPI, or
    (ii) validly claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 365(b) to a PCT application that contains no priority claims, or
    (iii) contains no priority claim.

Examples of U.S. applications that fall under requirement (1) are:

(1)(a)(i):

- U.S. application with a single Paris Convention priority claim to an application filed in Mexico (MX)

U.S. application with a single Paris Convention priority claim to an application filed in Mexico (MX)

- U.S. application with multiple Paris Convention priority claims to MX applications

U.S. application with multiple Paris Convention priority claims to MX applications

- Paris Convention and domestic priority

Paris Convention and domestic priority

- Paris Convention and divisional application

Paris Convention and divisional application

(1)(a)(ii):

- U.S. application claiming Paris Convention priority to a PCT application

- U.S. application claiming Paris Convention priority to a PCT application

* DO   Designated Office

(1)(b)(i):

- U.S. application is a national stage of a PCT application that claims Paris Convention priority to a MX application

U.S. application is a national stage of a PCT application that claims Paris Convention priority to a MX application

- PCT Route

PCT Route

(1)(b)(ii):

- U.S. application is a national stage of a PCT application that claims Paris Convention priority to another PCT application

U.S. application is a national stage of a PCT application that claims Paris Convention priority to another PCT application

- Direct PCT and PCT Route

Direct PCT and PCT Route

(1)(b)(iii):

- U.S. application is a national stage of a PCT application without priority claim

U.S. application is a national stage of a PCT application without priority claim

(1)(c)(i):

- U.S. application is a § 111(a) bypass of a PCT application that claims Paris Convention priority to a MX application

U.S. application is a § 111(a) bypass of a PCT application that claims Paris Convention priority to a MX application

(1)(c)(ii):

- U.S. application is a § 111(a) bypass of a PCT application that claims Paris Convention priority to another PCT application

U.S. application is a § 111(a) bypass of a PCT application that claims Paris Convention priority to another PCT application

(1)(c)(iii):

- U.S. application is a § 111(a) bypass of a PCT application that contains no priority claim

U.S. application is a § 111(a) bypass of a PCT application that contains no priority claim

The MX application whose claims are determined to be allowable/patentable does not have to be the application for which priority is claimed in the USPTO application (the basic application). The MX application can be an application explicitly derived from the basic application, e.g., a divisional application of the basic application. Note that where the MX application that contains the allowable/patentable claims is not the same application for which priority is claimed in the U.S. application, the applicant must identify the relationship between the MX application that contains the allowable/patentable claims and the MX priority application claimed in the U.S. application (e.g., MX application X that contains the allowable/patentable claims is a divisional application of MX application Y, which is the priority application claimed in the U.S. application).

Provisional applications, plant applications, design applications, reissue applications, reexamination proceedings, and applications subject to a secrecy order are excluded and not subject to participation in the PPH.

(2) The MX application(s) must have at least one claim that was determined by the IMPI to be allowable/patentable. The applicant must submit a copy of the allowable/patentable claims from the MX application(s) along with an English translation thereof and a statement that the English translation is accurate if the claims are not in the English language. If the IMPI office action does not explicitly state that a particular claim is allowable, the applicant must include a statement in the request for participation in the PPH pilot program or in the transmittal letter accompanying the request for participation that no rejection has been made in the IMPI office action regarding that claim, and therefore, the claim is deemed allowable by the IMPI.

(3) All the claims in each U.S. application for which a request for participation in the PPH pilot program is made must sufficiently correspond to or be amended to sufficiently correspond to the allowable/patentable claims in the MX application(s). Claims will be considered to sufficiently correspond where, accounting for differences due to translations and claim format requirements, the claims are of the same or similar scope. The applicant is also required to submit a claims correspondence table in English. The claims correspondence table must indicate how all the claims in the U.S. application correspond to the allowable/patentable claims in the MX application(s).

(4) Examination of the U.S. application for which participation in the PPH pilot program is requested has not begun.

(5) The applicant must file a request for participation in the PPH pilot program and a request that the U.S. application be advanced out of turn for examination by order of the Director to expedite the business of the Office under 37 CFR 1.102(a). A sample request form (PTO/SB/20MX) will be available from the USPTO Web site at http://www.uspto.gov on March 1, 2011. Applicants are encouraged to use the USPTO request form. A petition fee under 37 CFR 1.17(h) is NOT required. See Notice Regarding the Elimination of the Fee for Petitions To Make Special Filed Under the Patent Prosecution Highway (PPH) Programs, 75 Fed. Reg. 29312 (May 25, 2010).

(6) The applicant must submit a copy of all the Office actions (which are relevant to patentability) from each of the MX application(s) containing the allowable/patentable claims that are the basis for the request, along with an English translation thereof and a statement that the English translation is accurate if the office actions are not in the English language. In addition, the applicant must submit copies of any office actions (which are relevant to patentability) from the MX application(s) issued after the grant of the request for participation in the PPH pilot program in the USPTO (especially where IMPI might have reversed a prior holding of allowability).

(7) The applicant must submit an information disclosure statement (IDS) listing the documents cited by the IMPI examiner in the IMPI office action (unless such an IDS has already been filed in the U.S. application). The applicant must submit copies of all the documents cited in the IMPI office action (unless the copies have already been filed in the U.S. application) except U.S. patents or U.S. patent application publications.

The request for participation in the PPH pilot program and all the supporting documents must be submitted to the USPTO via EFS-Web and indexed with the following document description: “Petition to make special under Patent Pros Hwy.” Information regarding EFS-Web is available at http://www.uspto.gov/ebc/efs_help.html. Any preliminary amendments and IDS submitted with the PPH documents must be separately indexed as a preliminary amendment and IDS, respectively.

Where the request for participation in the PPH pilot program and special status are granted, the applicant will be notified and the U.S. application will be advanced out of turn for examination. In those instances where the request for participation in the PPH pilot program does not meet all the requirements set forth above, the applicant will be notified and the defects in the request will be identified. The applicant will be given one opportunity to perfect the request in a renewed request for participation (which must be submitted via EFS-Web and indexed accordingly as noted above). Note that action on the application by the examiner will NOT be suspended (37 CFR 1.103) awaiting a reply by the applicant to perfect the request in a renewed request for participation. That is, if the application is picked up for examination by the examiner after the applicant has been notified of the defects in the request, any renewed request will be dismissed. If the renewed request is perfected and examination has not begun, the request and special status will be granted, the applicant will be notified and the U.S. application will be advanced out of turn for examination. If not perfected, the applicant will be notified and the application will await action in its regular turn.

(8) Request for participation in the PPH pilot program and special status granted in a parent application will not carry over to a continuing application. The applicant must fulfill all the conditions set forth above in order for special status to be granted in the continuing application.

If any of the documents identified in items (2), (6) and (7) above have already been filed in the U.S. application prior to the request for participation in the PPH pilot program, it will not be necessary for the applicant to resubmit these documents with the request for participation. The applicant may simply refer to these documents and indicate in the request for participation in the PPH pilot program when these documents were previously filed in the U.S. application.

C. Special Examining Procedures

Once the request for participation in the PPH pilot program and special status have been granted to the U.S. application, the U.S. application will be taken up for examination by the U.S. examiner before all other categories of applications except those clearly in condition for allowance, those with set time limits, such as examiner’s answers, and those that have been granted special status for “accelerated examination.”

Any claims amended or added after the grant of the request for participation in the PPH pilot program must sufficiently correspond to one or more allowable/patentable claims in the MX application(s). The applicant is required to submit a claims correspondence table along with the amendment (see B.(3) above). If the amended or newly added claims do not sufficiently correspond to the allowable/patentable claims in the MX application(s), the amendment will not be entered and will be treated as a non-responsive reply.

The PPH program does not absolve applicants of all their duties under 37 CFR 1.56 and 37 CFR 11.18. By complying with requirements B.(6) and (7) identified above, applicants would be considered to have complied with their duties to bring to the attention of the USPTO any material prior art cited in the corresponding foreign application(s) (see MPEP § 2001.06(a)). Applicants still have a duty of candor and good faith, including providing to the USPTO other information known to them to be material to patentability.

Any inquiries concerning this notice may be directed to Magdalen Greenlief, Office of the Associate Commissioner for Patent Examination Policy, at 571-272-8140 or at magdalen.greenlief@uspto.gov.
