Continuation of the Patent Prosecution Highway Pilot Program between the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the Nordic Patent Institute based on Patent Cooperation Treaty Work Products |
Continuation of the Patent Prosecution Highway Pilot Program between the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the Nordic Patent Institute based on Patent Cooperation Treaty Work Products On July 1, 2011, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) commenced a Patent Prosecution Highway pilot program based on Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) work products (PCT-PPH pilot program) with the Nordic Patent Institute (NPI). The PCT-PPH pilot program enabled an applicant who has received a written opinion or an international preliminary examination report from the NPI as the International Searching Authority (ISA) or International Preliminary Examining Authority (IPEA) indicating that at least one claim in the PCT application has novelty, inventive step and industrial applicability to have the corresponding application filed in the USPTO be advanced out of turn for examination. See notice titled "Patent Prosecution Highway Pilot Program between the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the Nordic Patent Institute based on Patent Cooperation Treaty Work Products," 1368 Off. Gaz. Pat. Office 213 (July 26, 2011). The USPTO indicated that the PCT-PPH pilot program would terminate on June 30, 2012, but may be extended for an additional time period thereafter. In order to adequately assess the feasibility of the PCT-PPH pilot program, the USPTO and the NPI have agreed to collect more information before any final decision on the program is made. The pilot has been extended indefinitely. Any inquiries concerning this notice may be directed to Bryan Lin, Office of PCT Legal Administration, at 571-272-3303, or via e-mail addressed to bryan.lin@uspto.gov. Specific questions about the Patent Prosecution Highway should be directed to the Office of Petitions at 571-272-3282, or via e-mail addressed to PPHfeedback@uspto.gov. July 23, 2012 DAVID J.

Patent Prosecution Highway Pilot Program between the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the Colombian Superintendence of Industry and Commerce |
Patent Prosecution Highway Pilot Program between the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the Colombian Superintendence of Industry and Commerce |
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) and the Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO) on January 28, 2008. The pilot program with KIPO ended on January 28, 2009, and full implementation of the PPH program began on January 29, 2009. The pilot program with CIPO ended on January 28, 2011, and full implementation of the PPH program began on January 29, 2011.
USPTO has also commenced separate PPH pilot programs with the United Kingdom Intellectual Property Office (UKIPO), 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 Intellectual Property Office (HIPO), the Russian Patent Office (Rospatent), the Spanish Patent and Trademark Office (SPTO), the Austrian Patent Office (APO), the Mexican Institute of Industrial Property (IMPI), the Israeli Patent Office (ILPO), the Taiwan Intellectual Property Office (TIPO), the Norwegian Industrial Property Office (NIPO), the State Intellectual Property Office of the People’s Republic of China (SIPO), and the Icelandic Patent Office (IPO), based on the same or similar framework as the PPH between the USPTO and JPO.
Following on these partnerships, the USPTO and the Colombian Superintendence of Industry and Commerce (SIC) have agreed to launch a PPH pilot program similar to the PPH pilot programs noted above.
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 SIC for the corresponding application filed with SIC as the OSF. The procedures and requirements for filing a request with SIC for participation in the PPH pilot program will be available on September 1, 2012, from the SIC Web site at: http://www.sic.gov.co.
Where the USPTO is the OSF and the corresponding application filed with SIC as the OFF contains claims that are determined to be allowable/patentable in a substantive examination carried out in the name of SIC, 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.
The PPH pilot program will commence on September 1, 2012, for a period of one year ending on August 31, 2013. 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 SIC 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 August 31, 2013 date.
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
|
|||||||
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
|
|||||||
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
|
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 Colombia (CO)
- U.S. application with multiple Paris Convention priority claims to CO applications
- Paris route and domestic priority
- Paris Convention and divisional application
(1)(a)(ii):
- 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 CO application
- 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
- Direct PCT and PCT Route
(1)(b)(iii):
- 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 CO 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
(1)(c)(iii):
- U.S. application is a § 111(a) bypass of a PCT application that contains no priority claim
The CO 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 CO application can be an application explicitly derived from the basic application, e.g., a divisional application of the basic application. Note that where the CO 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 CO application that contains the allowable/patentable claims and the CO priority application claimed in the U.S. application (e.g., CO application X that contains the allowable/patentable claims is a divisional application of CO 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 CO application(s) must have at least one claim that was determined by the SIC to be allowable/patentable. The applicant must submit a copy of the allowable/patentable claims from the CO 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 SIC 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 SIC office action regarding that claim, and therefore, the claim is deemed allowable by the SIC.
(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 CO application(s). A claim is considered to sufficiently correspond where, accounting for differences due to translations and claim format requirements, the claim in the U.S. application is of the same or similar scope as a claim indicated as allowable in the application filed in the SIC. A claim in the U.S. application which is narrower in scope than the claims indicated as allowable in the application filed in the SIC will also sufficiently correspond if presented as a claim dependent upon a claim which is of the same or similar scope as a claim indicated as allowable in the application filed in the SIC. The additional limitation that makes the claim in the U.S. application narrower in scope than the allowable/patentable claims in the application filed in the SIC must have support in the written description of the U.S. application.
A claim in the U.S. application which introduces a new/different category of claims to those claims indicated as allowable in the application filed in the SIC is not considered to sufficiently correspond. For example, if the only allowable/patentable claims in the application filed in the SIC are claims to a process of manufacturing a product, then any product claims in the U.S. application are not considered to sufficiently correspond, even if the product claims are dependent on process claims which sufficiently correspond to allowable/patentable claims in the application filed in the SIC.
The applicant is 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 applications filed in the SIC. Any dependent claims with additional limitations must be clearly identified in the claims correspondence table.
(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/20CO) will be available from the USPTO Web site at http://www.uspto.gov/forms/ on September 1, 2012. 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 CO 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 CO application(s) issued after the grant of the request for participation in the PPH pilot program in the USPTO (especially where SIC might have reversed a prior holding of allowability).
(7) The applicant must submit an information disclosure statement (IDS) listing the documents cited by the SIC examiner in the SIC 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 SIC 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/patents/process/file/efs/. 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.
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 CO 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 CO 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 Bryan Lin, Office of PCT Legal Administration, at 571-272-3303 or at bryan.lin@uspto.gov.
Specific questions about the Patent Prosecution Highway should be directed to the Office of Petitions at 572-272-3282, or via e-mail addressed to PPHfeedback@uspto.gov.

Relief Available to Patent and Trademark Applicants, Patentees and Trademark Owners Affected by the Severe Earthquakes in Northern Italy The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) considers the effects of the severe earthquakes in Northern Italy that occurred in May 2012, to be an "extraordinary situation" within the meaning of 37 CFR 1.183 and 37 CFR 2.146 for affected patent and trademark applicants, patentees, reexamination parties, and trademark owners. Since this catastrophic event occurred outside the United States and did not result in a postal service interruption in the United States Postal Service, the USPTO has no authority to designate a postal service emergency as authorized by 35 U.S.C. 21(a). For patent applications and reexamination proceedings pending in the USPTO as of May 29, 2012, having one or more inventors, an assignee, or a correspondence address in areas of Northern Italy affected by the earthquakes, in which a reply or response to an Office action (final, non-final, or other), a notice of allowance, or other Office notice (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Office communication") is outstanding, and for which the statutory or non-statutory time period set for response has not yet expired, the USPTO will, on applicant's request, or a reexamination party's request, withdraw the Office communication and reissue it. The Office communication must have been outstanding on May 29, 2012. The request must be made prior to expiration of the statutory or non-statutory time period set for response and within sufficient time so that withdrawal and reissuance of the Office communication occur prior to expiration of the statutory or non-statutory time period (as permitted to be extended under 37 CFR 1.136(a), or as extended under 37 CFR 1.550(c) or 37 CFR 1.956). The request must be accompanied by a copy of this notice. The inclusion of a copy of this notice will be treated as a representation that the need for the reissuance of the Office communication was due to the effects of the severe earthquakes in May 2012. The request should be sent via EFS-Web or by mail directed to Mail Stop Petition, Commissioner for Patents, P.O. Box 1450, Alexandria, VA 22313-1450. For patentees who were unable to timely pay a patent maintenance fee due to the effects of the severe earthquakes in May 2012, the USPTO will waive the surcharge in 37 CFR 1.20(h) for paying a maintenance fee during the six-month grace period following the window to pay the maintenance fee and the surcharge in 37 CFR 1.20(i) for accepting a delayed maintenance fee payment when the patentee files the maintenance fee payment with a petition to accept a delayed maintenance fee under 37 CFR 1.378(c). See 37 CFR 1.183. Patentees who seek to pay a maintenance fee during the six-month grace period following the window to pay the maintenance fee with a request to waive the surcharge in 37 CFR 1.20(h), must mail the payment and request to: Director of the United States Patent and Trademark Office, Attn: Maintenance Fee, 2051 Jamieson Avenue, Suite 300, Alexandria, VA 22314; or via facsimile to: 571-273-6500. The request must be accompanied by a copy of this notice. The inclusion of a copy of this notice with the payment of the maintenance fee during the grace period will be treated as a representation that the late payment of the fee was due to the effects of the severe earthquakes in May 2012, and as a request for sua sponte waiver of the surcharge under 37 CFR 1.20(h). This waiver may only be appropriately requested where the original window of time to pay the maintenance fee without the surcharge required by 37 CFR 1.20(h) expired on or after May 29, 2012, and the delay in paying the fee was due to the effects of the severe earthquakes in May 2012. The USPTO advises patentees who need to file a petition to accept a delayed maintenance fee payment due to the effects of the earthquakes in May 2012, where the maintenance fee payment was required to have been paid
August 21, 2012 | US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE | 1381 OG 214 |
after May 28, 2012, to promptly file a petition under 37 CFR 1.378(c) (using USPTO form PTO/SB/66 - Petition to Accept Unintentionally Delayed Payment of Maintenance Fee in an Expired Patent (37 CFR 1.378(c)) accompanied by the applicable maintenance fee payment (but not the surcharge under 37 CFR 1.20(i)) and a copy of this notice. The inclusion of a copy of this notice will be treated as a representation that the delay in payment of the maintenance fee was due to the effects of the severe earthquakes in May 2012, and as a request for sua sponte waiver of the surcharge under 37 CFR 1.20(i). The petition must be filed by May 29, 2013, in order to be entitled to a waiver of the surcharge under 37 CFR 1.20(i). Patentees are reminded that a petition to accept a delayed maintenance fee payment under 37 CFR 1.378(c) must be filed within twenty-four months from the expiration date of the patent. See 35 U.S.C. 41(c). A petition to accept a delayed maintenance fee payment under 37 CFR 1.378(c) due to the effects of the severe earthquakes may be submitted via EFS-Web or by mail directed to Mail Stop Petition, Commissioner for Patents, P.O. Box 1450, Alexandria, VA 22313-1450. A petition to accept a delayed maintenance fee payment filed later than twenty-four months after the expiration date of the patent must be filed under 37 CFR 1.378(b) and include a showing that the delay in payment was unavoidable. The USPTO will not waive the surcharge in 37 CFR 1.20(i) for accepting a delayed maintenance fee payment when the patentee files the maintenance fee payment with a petition to accept a delayed maintenance fee under 37 CFR 1.378(b). For applicants who filed a nonprovisional application on or after May 29, 2012, and prior to June 30, 2012, without an executed oath or declaration or payment of the basic filing fee, search fee, and/or examination fee due to the severe earthquakes in May 2012, the USPTO will waive the surcharge set forth in 37 CFR 1.16(f) for the late filing of the oath or declaration or basic filing fee, search fee, and/or examination fee. Patent applicants seeking waiver of the surcharge must include a copy of this notice, along with the executed oath or declaration or the basic filing fee, search fee, or examination fee. The inclusion of a copy of this notice will be treated as a representation that the late filing of the oath or declaration or the basic filing fee, search fee, or examination fee was due to the effects of the severe earthquakes in May 2012, and as a request for sua sponte waiver of the surcharge under 37 CFR 1.16(f). The reply to the Notice to File Missing Parts requiring the oath or declaration or the filing fees may be submitted via EFS-Web or by mail directed to Mail Stop Missing Parts, Commissioner for Patents, P.O. Box 1450, Alexandria, VA 22313-1450. Patent-related inquiries concerning this notice may be directed to the Office of Patent Legal Administration at (571) 272-7704 ((571) 272-7703 for reexamination), or by e-mail to PatentPractice@uspto.gov. For trademark applications and registrations with a correspondence or owner address in areas of Northern Italy affected by the severe earthquakes in May 2012, in which an Office action (final, non-final, or other), a notice of allowance, or other Office notice requiring a response (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Office communication") is outstanding, the USPTO will, upon request, withdraw the Office communication and reissue it. The request must be made prior to the deadline for responding to the Office communication, and indicate that the need for the reissuance of the Office communication is due to the effects of the severe earthquakes in May 2012. The request should be sent via e-mail to TMFeedback@uspto.gov, or by mail to Commissioner for Trademarks, P.O. Box 1451, Alexandria, VA 22313-1451. If necessary, changes of correspondence address should be provided. For trademark applications and registrations with a correspondence or owner address in areas of Northern Italy affected by the earthquakes as of May 29, 2012, that were abandoned or cancelled due to inability to timely respond to a trademark-related Office communication due to the effects of
August 21, 2012 | US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE | 1381 OG 215 |
the severe earthquakes in May 2012, the USPTO will waive the petition fee (set by regulation, rather than statute) to revive the abandoned application or cancelled registration. Either a petition by regular mail to the address set forth in the preceding paragraph, or the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS) "Request for Reinstatement" form should be used, and must include a verified statement that the failure to respond to the Office communication was due to the effects of the earthquakes. Trademark-related inquiries concerning this notice may be directed to the Trademark Office of Petitions by telephone at (571) 272-8950, by facsimile at (571) 273-8950, or by e-mail at TMFeedback@uspto.gov. The USPTO cannot grant waivers or extensions of dates or requirements set by statute. For example, the following patent-related time periods cannot be extended by the Director: (1) the period set forth in 35 U.S.C. 119(a)-(d) to file a nonprovisional patent application claiming the benefit of a prior-filed foreign application; (2) the twelve-month time period set forth in 35 U.S.C. 119(e) during which a nonprovisional application claiming the benefit of a prior filed provisional application must be filed in order to obtain benefit of the provisional application's filing date; (3) the copendency requirement of 35 U.S.C. 120 between a parent application which issues as a patent and a later filed child application, which requires that the child application be filed prior to issuance of the parent application; (4) the three-month time period to pay the issue fee set forth in 35 U.S.C. 151; (5) the 35 U.S.C. 304 two-month time period from the date of patentee service, for a requester to file, in an ex parte reexamination, a reply to a statement filed by the patentee; and (6) the 35 U.S.C. 314(b)(2) thirty-day time period from the date of service, for a requester to file, in an inter partes reexamination, written comments addressing issues raised by an Office action or the patentee's response to the action. The following statutory trademark-related time periods cannot be extended and statutory fees cannot be waived by the Director: (1) the 36-month period set forth in 15 U.S.C. 1051(d) within which a statement of use must be filed and the associated fee(s); (2) the periods set forth in 15 U.S.C. 1058, 1141(k) for filing affidavits of continued use or excusable nonuse and the associated fee(s); (3) the period set forth in 15 U.S.C. 1059 for filing a renewal and the associated fee(s); and (4) the periods set forth in 15 U.S.C. 1063 and 1064 for filing an opposition or cancellation proceeding at the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board.

United States Postal Service Interruption and Emergency under 35 U.S.C. 21(1) |
United States Postal Service Interruption and Emergency under 35 U.S.C. 21(a) The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is designating the interruption in service of the United States Postal Service (USPS) in the areas affected by the severe storms in Maryland, New Jersey, Ohio, Virginia, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia beginning on Friday, June 29, 2012, as a postal service interruption and emergency within the meaning of 35 U.S.C. § 21(a) and 37 CFR 1.10(i) and 2.195(e). Postal services in Maryland, New Jersey, Ohio, Virginia, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia have been impacted by the storms in varying degrees beginning on June 29, 2012. To determine whether a post office has been closed or reopened, or postal services have been suspended or resumed in a particular area due to the storms, contact the post office directly or visit the USPS's Web site at: http://www.usps.gov. More specific information should be available at http://about.usps.com/news/service-alerts/welcome.htm. Once the USPS, through its Internet Web site, has notified the public that this interruption in the service of the USPS has ended, the designation of this interruption and emergency within the meaning of 35 U.S.C. § 21(a) and 37 CFR 1.10(i) and 2.195(e) will terminate without further notice from the USPTO. Patent-Related Correspondence 37 CFR 1.10(i) addresses interruptions or emergencies in USPS "Express Mail Post Office to Addressee" service that are designated by the Director for patent-related correspondence. Correspondence covered by 37 CFR 1.10 that would have been filed with the USPTO under 37 CFR 1.10 during this USPS service interruption, but which was not filed due to the USPS service interruption, should be filed promptly after the termination of the USPS service interruption with a petition in accordance with 37 CFR 1.10(i) using "Express Mail" service in accordance with 37 CFR 1.10. The provisions of 35 U.S.C. § 21(a) and 37 CFR 1.10(i) apply only to postal interruptions and emergencies. The provisions of 35 U.S.C. § 21(a) and 37 CFR 1.10(i) do not provide for the granting of a filing date to correspondence as of the date on which it would have been filed but for other exigencies, such as the unavailability of an office or building other than a USPS facility. These provisions apply only if the post office was closed or "Express Mail" service suspended in the affected areas on the specified date due to the severe storms. 37 CFR 1.10(i) provides that any person attempting to file correspondence by "Express Mail Post Office to Addressee" service that was unable to be deposited with the USPS due to an interruption or emergency in "Express Mail" service which has been so designated by the Director may petition the Director to consider such correspondence as filed on a particular date in the Office. 37 CFR 1.10(i) specifically provides that: Any person attempting to file correspondence under this section that was unable to be deposited with the USPS due to an interruption or emergency in "Express Mail" service which has been so designated by the Director, may petition the Director to consider such correspondence as filed on a particular date in the Office, provided that: (1) The petition is filed in a manner designated by the Director promptly after the person becomes aware of the designated interruption or emergency in "Express Mail" service; (2) The petition includes the original correspondence or a copy of the original correspondence; and
August 21, 2012 | US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE | 1381 OG 217 |
(3) The petition includes a statement which establishes, to the satisfaction of the Director, that the correspondence would have been deposited with the USPS but for the designated interruption or emergency in "Express Mail" service, and that the correspondence or copy of the correspondence is the original correspondence or a true copy of the correspondence originally attempted to be deposited with the USPS on the requested filing date. Patent-related inquiries concerning this notice may be directed to Eugenia A. Jones, Senior Legal Advisor in the Office of Patent Legal Administration, at (571) 272-7727 or at PatentPractice@uspto.gov. Trademark-Related Correspondence 37 CFR 2.195(e) and 2.198 address interruptions or emergencies in USPS "Express Mail Post Office to Addressee" service that are designated by the Director for trademark-related correspondence. Correspondence covered by 37 CFR 2.198 that would have been filed with the USPTO under 37 CFR 2.198 during this USPS service interruption, but which was not filed due to the interruption, should be filed promptly after the termination of the USPS service interruption with a petition in accordance with 37 CFR 2.146 and 2.198. The provisions of 35 U.S.C. § 21(a) and 37 CFR 2.195(e) apply only to postal interruptions and emergencies. These provisions do not provide for the granting of a filing date to correspondence as of the date on which it would have been filed but for other exigencies, such as the unavailability of an office or building other than a USPS facility. These provisions apply only if the post office was closed or "Express Mail" service suspended in the affected areas on the specified date due to the severe storms. Under 37 CFR 2.195(e) and 2.198, any person attempting to file correspondence by "Express Mail Post Office to Addressee" service that was unable to be deposited with the USPS due to the interruption or emergency in "Express Mail" service in the areas designated in this notice may petition the Director to consider such correspondence as filed on a particular date in the Office. The petition must: (1) Be filed promptly after the ending of the designated interruption or emergency in "Express Mail" service; (2) Include the original correspondence or a copy of the original correspondence; and (3) Include a statement which establishes, to the satisfaction of the Director, that (a) the correspondence would have been deposited with the USPS but for the designated interruption or emergency in "Express Mail" service, and (b) the correspondence or copy of the correspondence is the original correspondence or a true copy of the correspondence originally attempted to be deposited with the USPS on the requested filing date. Please note that under 37 CFR 2.101(b)(2), 2.102(a)(2), 2.198(a)(1) and 7.4(b)(2), the Express Mail procedures cannot be used for the following types of correspondence: applications for registration of marks; amendments to allege use under 15 U.S.C. § 1051(c); statements of use under 15 U.S.C. § 1051(d); requests for extension of time to file a statement of use under 15 U.S.C. § 1051(d); affidavits of continued use under 15 U.S.C. § 1058; renewal applications under 15 U.S.C. § 1059; requests to change or correct addresses; combined filings under 15 U.S.C. §§ 1058 and 1059; combined affidavits or declarations under 15 U.S.C. §§ 1058 and 1065; responses to notices of irregularity under 37 CFR 7.14; requests for transformation under 37 CFR 7.31; notices of opposition to applications based on 15 U.S.C. § 1141f(a); and requests for extensions of time to oppose applications based on 15 U.S.C. § 1141f(a). Therefore, it would be
August 21, 2012 | US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE | 1381 OG 218 |
inappropriate to file a petition seeking a filing date as of the date of deposit of these types of correspondence as Express Mail. The provisions of 37 CFR 2.198(e) on postal service interruptions or emergencies apply only to "Express Mail Post Office to Addressee" correspondence, and do not apply to correspondence with a certificate of mailing pursuant to 37 CFR 2.197. Therefore, the petition procedure set forth in this notice is not appropriate for correspondence with a certificate of mailing. However, petitions concerning such correspondence may be considered under 37 CFR 2.146 with the requisite showing of an extraordinary situation, that justice requires relief, and that no other party would be injured thereby. Trademark-related inquiries concerning this notice may be directed to Catherine Cain, Office of the Deputy Commissioner for Trademark Examination Policy, at (571) 272-8946. July 23, 2012 DAVID J.
