The United States Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO" or "Office") has publicly reprimanded Mr. Berns for violating 37 C.F.R. § 10.23(b)(6) (engaging in conduct that adversely reflects upon a practitioner's fitness to practice before the Office) via his conduct in violation of 37 C.F.R. § 10.23(c)(8) (failing to inform a client 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). Respondent represented an inventor in the prosecution of a U.S. patent application. The USPTO mailed to Respondent a Notice of Abandonment dated October 28, 2010, for failure to timely reply to a Notice to File Corrected Application Papers dated February 16, 2010. Respondent did not notify the client of the Notice of Abandonment. This action is the result of a settlement agreement between Respondent and the OED Director pursuant to the provisions of 35 U.S.C. § 2(b)(2)(D) and 37 C.F.R. §§ 11.20, 11.26, and 11.59. Disciplinary decisions involving practitioners are posted at the Office of Enrollment and Discipline's Reading Room located at: http://des.uspto.gov/Foia/OEDReadingRoom.jsp. April 17, 2012 JAMES O.

Notice of Suspension and Probation |
Notice of Suspension and Probation This notice concerns Christopher D. Harrington of Grand Rapids, Michigan, a registered patent attorney (Registration No. 34,837). The United States Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO" or "Office") has suspended Respondent from practicing patent, trademark, and other non-patent law before the Office for thirty-six months for violating 37 C.F.R. §§ 10.23(a) and (b) via 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 not refusing employment and, instead, 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 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. Harrington's business relationship with the referring entity); § 10.66(a) by not declining employment from a referring entity where the exercise of Mr. Harrington's independent, professional judgment on behalf of a client would be or was likely to be adversely affected by the acceptance of the proffered employment or if it would be likely to involve Mr. Harrington in representing differing interests; 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. Harrington is eligible to request reinstatement after serving six months of his 36-month suspension subject to certain conditions and, if reinstated, Mr. Harrington will be permitted to practice before the Office. Mr. Harrington 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 Mr. Harrington, to prosecute patent applications for the inventors before the Office. Between 2005 and 2008, ISC referred a significant volume of clients to Mr. Harrington. Generally speaking: (a) Mr. Harrington 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. Harrington did not divulge the actual or potential conflict of interest that ISC's purported escrowing of attorney fees presented to Mr. Harrington's representation of ISC-referred clients' interests; (c) Mr. Harrington 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. Harrington 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,
May 15, 2012 | US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE | 1378 OG 219 |
allowed certain applications of 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. Harrington voluntarily discontinued receiving referrals from ISC in 2008. The OED Director considered the following mitigating factors in reaching this settlement: (a) Mr. Harrington has no prior disciplinary history before the Office during the over twenty years he has been registered as a patent practitioner; (b) Mr. Harrington experienced a serious medical condition that impaired his ability to practice law and affected his judgment during a portion of the period that he represented ISC-referred clients; and (c) Mr. Harrington cooperated with the Office of Enrollment and Discipline during the investigation and resolution of this matter. This action is taken pursuant to a settlement agreement between Mr. Harrington 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: http://des.uspto.gov/Foia/OEDReadingRoom.jsp.
