Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) Information 
                  Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) Information

   For information concerning PCT member countries, see the notice
appearing in the Official Gazette at 1393 O.G. 61, on August 13, 2013.

   For information on subject matter under Rule 39 that a particular
International Searching Authority will not search, see Annex D of the PCT
Applicants' Guide.

European Patent Office as Searching and Examining Authority

   The European Patent Office (EPO) may act as the International Searching
Authority (ISA) or the International Preliminary Examining Authority (IPEA)
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. The EPO, effective January 1, 2015, no longer has any
limitations concerning its competency to act as an ISA. The announcement
appears in the Official Gazette at 1412 O.G. 61 on March 10, 2015.
Previously, the EPO would not act as an ISA and would not carry out an
international search for any application which contained one or more claims
relating to the field of business methods. As of January 1, 2015, U.S.
applicants filing their international applications with the USPTO or the IB
as receiving Office may select the EPO to act as the ISA without
restrictions. In applications containing claims relating to business
methods where the subject matter of the application also contains technical
features, the EPO will perform a search for those parts of the application
which are more than mere business methods. However, the EPO will issue a
declaration under PCT Rule 17(2)(a) that no ISR will be established
whenever an application relates only to a business method as such. The EPO
will act as an IPEA only if it also acted as the ISA.

   The search fee of the European Patent Office was changed, effective
January 1, 2016, and was announced in the Official Gazette at 1421
O.G. 246, on December 29, 2015.

Korean Intellectual Property Office as Searching and Examining Authority

   The Korean Intellectual Property Office may act as the ISA or the IPEA
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. The announcement appears in the Official Gazette at 1302 O.G.
1261 on January 17, 2006.

   The search fee of the Korean Intellectual Property Office was changed,
effective January 1, 2016, and was announced in the Official Gazette at
1421 O.G. 246, on December 29, 2015.

Australian Patent Office as Searching and Examining Authority

   The Australian Patent Office (IP Australia) may act as the ISA or the
IPEA 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. The announcement appears in the Official Gazette
at 1337 O.G. 265, on December 23, 2008. However, the use of IP Australia is
restricted. IP Australia will not act as an ISA if it has received more
than 250 international applications from the USPTO during a fiscal quarter,
as indicated in the Official Gazette at 1409 O.G. 302 on December 30, 2014.
IP Australia will act as an IPEA only if it also acted as the ISA.

   The search fee of IP Australia was changed, effective January 1, 2016,
and was announced in the Official Gazette at 1421 O.G. 246, on December 29,
2015.

of the applicants is either a national or resident of the United States
of America. The announcement appears in the Official Gazette at 1408 O.G.
52, on November 4, 2014. However, the use of the ILPO is restricted. The
ILPO will not act as an ISA for applications with one or more claims
relating to a business method as defined by certain International Patent
Classification classes nor will the ILPO act as an ISA where it has
received more than 75 international applications from the USPTO during a
fiscal quarter, as indicated in the Official Gazette at 1408 O.G. 52 on

act as an ISA for applications only where the claims of the application are
directed to the field of green technology as defined by certain

received more than 5,000 international applications from the USPTO during
the 3 year period from July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2018, and not more than 300
applications per quarter during the first year, and not more than 475

Notice of Exclusion 
                            Notice of Exclusion

   This notice concerns David James Lola of Charlotte, North Carolina, who
is a registered patent attorney (Registration Number 55,400). In a
reciprocal disciplinary proceeding, Joseph D. Matal, Performing the
Functions and Duties of the Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual
Property and Director of the United States Patent and Trademark Office
("USPTO") has ordered that Mr. Lola be excluded from practice before the
USPTO in patent, trademark, and other non-patent matters for violating
37 C.F.R. § 11.804(h), predicated upon being disbarred from the practice of
law by a duly constituted authority of a State.

   The Supreme Court of California disbarred Mr. Lola after his default was
entered for failing to respond to a notice of disciplinary charges. The
notice of disciplinary charges addressed Mr. Lola's failure to cooperate
with a State Bar of California disciplinary investigation. An attorney's
failure to cooperate with a disciplinary investigation pending against him
is a violation of Section 6068 of the California Business and Professions
Code.

   This action is taken pursuant to the provisions of 35 U.S.C. § 32 and
37 C.F.R. § 11.24. Disciplinary decisions are available for public review
at the Office of Enrollment and Discipline's FOIA Reading Room, located at:

Notice of Public Reprimand and Probation 
                 Notice of Public Reprimand and Probation

   This notice concerns Vincent Mark Amberly of Leesburg, Virginia, who is
authorized to practice before the Office in trademark and non-patent
matters. In a reciprocal disciplinary proceeding, Joseph D. Matal,
Performing the Functions and Duties of the Under Secretary of Commerce for
Intellectual Property and Director of the United States Patent and
Trademark Office ("USPTO") has ordered that Mr. Amberly be reprimanded and
subject to a two-year probationary period for violating 37 C.F.R.
§ 11.804(h), predicated upon being publicly reprimanded and subjected to a
two-year probationary term by a duly constituted authority of a State.
Mr. Amberly is not authorized to practice before the Office in patent
matters.

   By Order dated February 21, 2017, in In re Vincent Mark Amberly, VSB
Docket No. 16-053-105949, the Fifth District Subcommittee of the Virginia
State Bar publicly reprimanded and provided a two (2) years probationary
term from issuance of the Order for Respondent in that jurisdiction.

   The Virginia Order sets forth "Findings of Fact." In April of 2016,
Mr. Amberly wrote a letter to Mr. Stevens threatening to bring criminal
perjury charges for testimony provided by Mr. Stevens in an attempt to
resolve issues between Mr. Stevens and Mr. Amberly's clients without going
to trial. Mr. Amberly acknowledged using similar language against other
potential adversaries on numerous occasions. In another instance related to
Dryclean Depot Franchise (DDF), Mr. Amberly asserted he would not report
several of DDF's misrepresentations and material omissions related to the
purchase of DDF to state and governmental agencies in return for a full
payment of damages outlined in his settlement letter. In the purchase of a
Kumon franchise by Mr. Amberly's client, Mr. Amberly indicated in a letter
that Kumon had violated immigration laws, Federal Trade Commission rules,
and federal and state privacy laws and was considering notifying the
appropriate regulatory authorities, which could result in regulatory or
criminal action against Kumon, but he would forgo pursuing these options in
return for a favorable settlement to him and his client. The Fifth District
Subcommittee found that these acts constituted a violation of Rule 3.4 -
Fairness to Opposing Party and Counsel, which precludes a lawyer from
threatening to present criminal or disciplinary charges solely to obtain an
advantage in a civil matter.

   This action is taken pursuant to the provisions of 35 U.S.C. § 32 and
37 C.F.R. § 11.24. Disciplinary decisions are available for public review

                  Director of the United States Patent and Trademark Office


                 Notice of Public Reprimand and Probation

   This notice concerns Mr. Kenneth A. Roddy of Houston, Texas, who is a
registered practitioner (Registration No. 31,294). In settlement of a
disciplinary proceeding, Joseph D. Matal, Performing the Functions and
Duties of the Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and
Director of the United States Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO" or
"Office") has publicly reprimanded Mr. Roddy and placed him on probation
 November 21, 2017 US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE 1444 OG 184  

for twenty-four (24) months from the date of the Final Order for violating
37 C.F.R. §§ 11.104(a)(2)-(4) (failing to reasonably consult with the
client about the means by which the client's objectives are to be
accomplished, failing to keep the client reasonably informed about the
status of a matter, and failing to promptly comply with reasonable requests
for information from the client); 11.103 (failing to act with reasonable
diligence and promptness in representing a client); and 11.804(d) (engaging
in conduct that is prejudicial to the administration of justice).

   The public reprimand and probation is predicated upon Mr. Roddy's
violations of provisions of the USPTO Rules of Professional Conduct in
connection with his providing patent services for a client. Mr. Roddy was
representing a client in the preparation and prosecution of two patent
applications. Mr. Roddy failed to notify the client about an Office Action
in each of the two patent applications; failed to advise the client
regarding responding to the Office Actions; failed to respond to the Office
Actions; allowed the two patent applications to become abandoned, without
the client's knowledge or consent, for failure to timely respond to the
Office Actions; failed to notify the client of the abandonments of the
applications; failed to report the Notice of Abandonment to the client in
each of the two applications; failed to advise the client about taking
action to revive the abandoned applications; and failed to take any action
to revive the abandoned applications. Mr. Roddy also failed to adequately
communicate with his client regarding the patent applications and the
Office communications, and failed to respond to requests from the client
regarding the applications.

   In reaching this settlement, the OED Director considered the following:
(i) Mr. Roddy has expressed remorse; (ii) Mr. Roddy has adopted measures
intended to prevent the recurrence of these violations, including a policy
of giving his cell phone number to clients for whom he is working on patent
applications so that he is more readily accessible to them during
prosecutions of their applications; (iii) Mr. Roddy has obtained a new
email program and email service provider that stores all incoming and
outgoing email messages on a backup server and also includes a calendar and
tickler reminders; (iv) Mr. Roddy has incorporated a new docketing and
tracking system and has set up a backup docketing procedure on his cell
phone with notifications; and (v) Mr. Roddy has cooperated with the Office
of Enrollment and Discipline during the investigation of this matter.

   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 32 and 37 C.F.R. §§ 11.19, 11.20, and 11.26. Disciplinary decisions

United States Postal Service Interruption and Emergency under 35 U.S.C. 21(a) 
                       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 wildfires in California, beginning on Tuesday,
October 10, 2017, 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 California have been impacted by wildfires in varying
degrees beginning on October 10, 2017. 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 wildfires in California, 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 Priority
Mail Express® 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 Priority Mail Express® 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 Priority Mail Express® service suspended in the affected areas on
the specified date due to the wildfires in California. If the provisions
set forth in this notice do not apply, relief may be available on petition
to the Office. The specific type of petition would depend on the facts of
the situation and the relief sought.

   37 CFR 1.10(i) provides that any person attempting to file
correspondence by Priority Mail Express® Post Office to Addressee service
that was unable to be deposited with the USPS due to an interruption or
emergency in Priority Mail Express® 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
Priority Mail Express® 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 Priority Mail Express® service;
 November 21, 2017 US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE 1444 OG 186  

   (2) The petition includes the original correspondence or a copy of the
   original correspondence; and

   (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 Priority Mail Express® 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, at (571) 272-7727, or Erin M.
Harriman, Legal Advisor, at (571) 272-7747, Office of Patent Legal

Trademark-Related Correspondence

   37 CFR 2.195(e) addresses interruptions or emergencies in USPS Priority
Mail Express® 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 using the Priority
Mail Express® Post Office to Addressee service, 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 2.195(e).

   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 Priority Mail Express® service
suspended in the affected areas on the specified date due to the wildfires
in California.

   Under 37 CFR 2.195(e), any person attempting to file correspondence by
Priority Mail Express® Post Office to Addressee service that was unable to
be deposited with the USPS due to the interruption or emergency in Priority
Mail Express® 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 Priority Mail Express® 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 Priority Mail
   Express® 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)(3), 2.102(a)(1), 2.198(a)(1), and
7.4(b)(2), the Priority Mail Express® 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
 November 21, 2017 US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE 1444 OG 187  

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;
affidavits of continued use under 15 U.S.C. § 1141k; combined affidavits or
declarations under 15 U.S.C. §§ 1065 and 1141k; 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
inappropriate to file a petition seeking a filing date as of the date of
deposit of these types of correspondence as Priority Mail Express®.

   The provisions of 37 CFR 2.195(e) on postal service interruptions or
emergencies apply only to Priority Mail Express® 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,
or other requests for rule waivers, 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.

Relief Available to Patent and Trademark Applicants, Patentees and Trademark Owners Affected by Hurricane Maria 
      Relief Available to Patent and Trademark Applicants, Patentees
             and Trademark Owners Affected by Hurricane Maria

 The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has issued a
notice designating the interruption in service of the United States Postal
Service (USPS) in the areas affected by Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico and
the U.S. Virgin Islands, which began on Tuesday, September 19, 2017, as a
postal service interruption and emergency within the meaning of 35 U.S.C.
§ 21(a). See https://www.uspto.gov/learning-and-resources/operating-status.
The instant notice sets forth additional relief available in certain
situations as detailed below. The USPTO considers the effects of Hurricane
Maria in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands that began on
September 19, 2017, 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.

Patent-Related Correspondence - Time Periods for Reply in Affected Areas

   For patent applications and reexamination proceedings pending in the
USPTO as of September 19, 2017, having a correspondence address in the
areas of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands affected by Hurricane
Maria that the USPTO has identified as being in affected areas based on the
zip code of the correspondence address, in which a reply 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 reply has not yet expired, the USPTO is withdrawing the Office
communication, and re-issuing the Office communication with a new time
period for reply. See MPEP § 710.06 (Situations When Reply Period Is Reset
or Restarted). The Office communication must have been outstanding on
September 19, 2017. Note that the USPTO will not restart any time period
for reply once the statutory or non-statutory time period has expired or if
the USPTO has already automatically restarted the time period in accordance
with the relief provided for Hurricane Irma. See
https://www.uspto.gov/learning-and-resources/operating-status. The
following are the zip codes identified by the USPTO as being in the
affected areas: 006XX, 007XX, 008XX, and 009XX. Applicants and
reexamination parties may view the notice restarting the period for reply
and the Office communication in their application or reexamination
proceeding via the USPTO's Patent Application Information Retrieval (PAIR)
system, either Private PAIR (for those with access) or Public PAIR (for
published applications and reexamination proceedings).

   Patent applicants and reexamination parties affected by Hurricane Maria
may also request that the USPTO withdraw and reissue an Office
communication in the event that the USPTO has not already restarted an
outstanding Office communication as discussed herein. For patent
applications and reexamination proceedings pending in the USPTO as of
September 19, 2017, having one or more inventors, an applicant, an
assignee, or a correspondence address in the areas of Puerto Rico and the
U.S. Virgin Islands affected by Hurricane Maria, in which a reply to an
Office communication is outstanding, and for which the statutory or
non-statutory time period set for reply has not yet expired, and for which
the USPTO has not restarted the time period, 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 September 19, 2017. The request must be made prior to
expiration of the statutory or non-statutory time period set for reply 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 in order to permit the Office to
quickly identify it as a request for relief and facilitate timely
processing. The inclusion of a copy of this notice will be treated as a
 November 21, 2017 US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE 1444 OG 189  

representation that the need for the reissuance of the Office communication
was due to the effects of Hurricane Maria. The request should be sent via
EFS-Web using document code PET.RELIEF or by mail directed to Mail Stop
Petition, Commissioner for Patents, P.O. Box 1450, Alexandria,
VA 22313-1450. If necessary, updates to the correspondence address of

communications.

Patent-Related Correspondence - Petitions to Revive

   For patent applicants or patent owners who, beginning on September 19,
2017, were unable to timely reply to an Office communication due to the
effects of Hurricane Maria, which resulted in the application being held
abandoned or the reexamination prosecution terminated or limited, the USPTO
will waive the petition fee in 37 CFR 1.17(m) when the patent applicant or
patent owner files the reply with a petition under 37 CFR 1.137(a). See
35 U.S.C. § 41(a)(7). The inclusion of a copy of this notice with the reply
required to the outstanding Office communication will be treated as a
representation that the delay in filing the reply was due to the effects of
Hurricane Maria that began on September 19, 2017, and as a request for sua
sponte waiver of the petition fee under 37 CFR 1.17(m). The USPTO advises
any patent applicant or patent owner who seeks to file a petition to revive
under 37 CFR 1.137(a) with a request to waive the petition fee under
37 CFR 1.17(m) due to the effects of Hurricane Maria, to promptly file the
petition under 37 CFR 1.137(a) accompanied by the required reply (but not
the petition fee under 37 CFR 1.17(m)) and a copy of this notice. The
petition under 37 CFR 1.137(a) must be filed by March 20, 2018, in order to
be entitled to a waiver of the petition fee under 37 CFR 1.17(m). A
petition to revive under 37 CFR 1.137(a) due to the effects of Hurricane
Maria may be submitted via EFS-Web using document code PET.RELIEF or by

Patent-Related Correspondence - Payment of Maintenance Fees

   For patentees who, beginning on September 19, 2017, were unable to
timely pay a patent maintenance fee due to the effects of Hurricane Maria,
the USPTO will waive (i) 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 (ii) the petition fee in 37 CFR 1.17(m) 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). 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 in order to
permit the Office to quickly identify it as a request for relief and
facilitate timely processing. 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 Hurricane Maria that began on September 19, 2017, 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 September 19, 2017, and the delay in paying the fee was
due to the effects of Hurricane Maria.

   The USPTO advises patentees who need to file a petition to accept a
delayed maintenance fee payment due to the effects of Hurricane Maria,
where the maintenance fee payment was required to have been paid after

the petition fee under 37 CFR 1.17(m). The petition must be filed by
September 20, 2018, in order to be entitled to a waiver of the petition fee
under 37 CFR 1.17(m). A petition to accept a delayed maintenance fee
payment under 37 CFR 1.378(b) due to the effects of Hurricane Maria may be

                Expanded Collaborative Search Pilot Program

AGENCY: United States Patent and Trademark Office, Commerce.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) conducted
two separate Collaborative Search Pilot Programs (CSPs) during the period
of 2015 through 2017. One of these programs was conducted with the Japan
Patent Office (JPO) and the other with the Korean Intellectual Patent
Office (KIPO). Improvements in patent quality and examination pendency were
identified as positive outcomes from these two original CSPs. Building on
the success of these two programs, the USPTO is participating in a new,
expanded CSP (Expanded CSP) in which applicants may request that multiple
partnering Intellectual Property (IP) offices exchange search results for
their counterpart applications prior to formulating and issuing their
office actions. In Expanded CSP, each designated partner IP office will
independently conduct a prior art search for its corresponding counterpart
application. The search results will then be exchanged between the
designated partner IP office(s) and the USPTO before any IP
office issues an office action. By this exchange of search results, the
examiners in all designated partner IP offices will have a more
comprehensive set of prior art references to consider when making initial
patentability determinations. In addition to changing the number of IP
offices that may be providing search results to the USPTO, Expanded CSP
provides applicants with more flexibility by not requiring that applicants
follow the procedures of the First Action Interview Pilot Program (FAI).
Expanded CSP will allow the USPTO to study the impact on examination
processes resulting from exchanges of search results between the USPTO and
multiple partner IP offices prior to formulating and issuing office
actions.

DATES: Under Expanded CSP, the USPTO and partner IP offices will each
accept requests to participate from November 1, 2017, through November 1,
2020, and each IP office will not grant more than 400 requests per year per
partner office. The offices may extend the pilot program (with or without
modification), if necessary. Each office reserves the right to withdraw
from the program at any time.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Inquiries regarding the handling of any
specific application participating in the pilot may be directed to Daniel
Hunter, Director of International Work Sharing, Planning, and
Implementation, Office of International Patent Cooperation, by telephone at
(571) 272-8050. Any inquiries regarding this pilot program can be emailed
to csp@uspto.gov. Inquiries concerning this notice may be directed to

Administration, by phone (571) 272-7759.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
   I. Background: The USPTO is continually looking for ways to improve the
quality of issued patents and to promote work sharing with other IP offices
throughout the world. Work sharing benefits applicants by promoting compact
prosecution, reducing pendency, and supporting patent quality by reducing
the likelihood of inconsistencies in patentability determinations (not
predicated upon differences in national patent laws) between IP offices.
The USPTO has launched numerous work sharing pilot programs, including the
recently completed CSPs with JPO and KIPO. In these completed CSPs, the
participating offices implemented administrative procedures to facilitate
work sharing between the USPTO and a single designated partner IP office in
the form of sharing search results of related counterpart applications.
Feedback from the completed CSPs showed sufficiently positive benefits to
 November 21, 2017 US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE 1444 OG 195  

justify expanding CSP to permit work sharing between the USPTO and more
than one designated partner IP office for the same U.S. application.
   The USPTO will cooperate in an Expanded CSP to determine whether
exchanging the results from searches independently performed by multiple IP
offices, which occur substantially simultaneously, also increases the
efficiency and quality of patent examination. This Expanded CSP is designed
so that this exchange of search results would occur prior to the IP offices
making initial patentability determinations. The current partner IP offices
for the Expanded CSP are JPO and KIPO. The USPTO will announce future
partner IP offices when they are designated.
   Currently, applicants in the USPTO having U.S. applications with claims
of foreign priority may have search results and prior art cited to them by
the foreign IP office during pendency of their U.S. applications. Often,
applicants submit the prior art after examination on the merits is already
underway in their U.S. application. Upon evaluation of the search results
and cited prior art, the U.S. examiner may determine that the prior art
cited by the foreign office is relevant to patentability and merits being
used in further examination before making a final determination on
patentability of the pending claims. This delay caused by further
examination results in additional cost to applicants and the USPTO that
could have been avoided if the U.S. examiner was in possession of the
foreign office's search results before commencing examination of the U.S.
application. Furthermore, in light of the USPTO's various expedited
examination programs, the possibility exists that a U.S. application may
reach final disposition before the applicant is in receipt of a foreign
office's search results. The exchange of search results between IP offices
before an initial determination on patentability should increase efficiency
and promote patent examination quality.
   In order to study the benefits of the exchange of search results
between multiple IP offices, current USPTO examination practice will be
modified for applications in Expanded CSP so that a search will be
conducted and search results generated, without issuance of an Office
action. The U.S. applications in Expanded CSP will also be "made special"
pursuant to USPTO procedures to ensure that they are contemporaneously
searched with their corresponding counterpart applications.
   In the original version of the CSP, the USPTO required the use of the
First Action Interview Pilot Program (FAI), which bifurcated the prior art
search from issuance of an Office action. The USPTO has determined that it
is unnecessary to require applicants participating in Expanded CSP to use
FAI procedures. Instead, applications in Expanded CSP will be accorded
special status prior to first action on the merits (FAOM) and prior art
references provided through the exchange of search results will be included
in the FAOM.
   Expanded CSP in the U.S. requires a petition to make special for the
participating application and authorization to exchange information with
the designated partner IP office(s) prior to an initial determination of
patentability. As this work sharing program is operating under a common
framework across all agreements between the USPTO and all partner offices,
it is permissible to participate in Expanded CSP with multiple partner
offices simultaneously, and the program is open to adding additional
partner IP offices once appropriate agreements are in place.
   II. Overview of Expanded CSP: An application must meet all the
requirements set forth in section III of this notice to be accepted into
Expanded CSP. Applicants must file a Petition to Make Special Under the
Expanded Collaborative Search Pilot Program using form PTO/SB/437 via
EFS-web in a U.S. application. Use of the form is mandatory and will assist
applicants in complying with the pilot program's requirements, as well as
assist the USPTO in quickly identifying participating applications. Form
PTO/SB/437 is available at:
http://www.uspto.gov/patents-getting-started/international-
protection/collaborative-search-pilot-program-csp. The collection of
information involved in this pilot program has been submitted to OMB. This
collection will be available at OMB's Information Collection Review Web
site, www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain.
   In addition to a petition being filed with the USPTO, a request must
also be filed in the corresponding counterpart applications in each
 November 21, 2017 US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE 1444 OG 196  

applicant-designated partner IP office, in accordance with the requirements
of that office. (Partner IP offices may require a petition or a request;
therefore, for purposes of this notice, usage of the term 'request' refers
to the initial submission that a partner IP office requires to initiate
participation in Expanded CSP.) As each partner IP office's conditions for
entry may differ, applicants should review the requirements of the relevant
partner IP offices to ensure compliance.
   No fee for a petition to make special under 37 CFR 1.102 is required for
participation in Expanded CSP.
   New patent applications are normally taken up for examination in the
order of their U.S. filing date. Applications accepted into Expanded CSP
will receive expedited processing by being granted special status and taken
out of turn until issuance of an FAOM, but will not maintain special status
thereafter. Designated partner IP offices and the USPTO will be sharing
search results before issuance of an initial determination on
patentability. Participants in Expanded CSP should review the references
cited in each respective office's initial determination on patentability.
If the references cited by any partner IP office are not already of record
in the USPTO application and the applicant wants to ensure that the
examiner considers the references, then the applicant should file an
Information Disclosure Statement (IDS) that includes a copy of the
communication along with copies of any missing or newly cited references in
accordance with 37 CFR 1.97, 37 CFR 1.98, and Manual of Patent Examining
Procedure (MPEP) sec. 609.04(a)-(b). See also MPEP secs. 609 and
2001.06(a).
   Each office may reevaluate the workload and resources needed to
administer Expanded CSP at any time. The USPTO will provide notice of any
substantive changes to the program (including early termination of the
program) at least 30 days prior to implementation of any changes.
   III. Requirements for Participation in Expanded CSP: The following
requirements must be satisfied for a petition under Expanded CSP to be
granted:
   (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, with
an effective filing date of no earlier than March 16, 2013. For
corresponding counterpart applications filed in accordance with the
agreement between the USPTO and KIPO only, plant applications filed under
35 U.S.C. 161 are also eligible. The U.S. application and all corresponding
counterpart applications must have a common earliest priority date that is
no earlier than March 16, 2013. The disclosures of the U.S. application and
all counterpart applications must support the claimed subject matter as of
a common date. The U.S. application must be complete and eligible to
receive a filing receipt at the time the petition is filed.
   (2) A completed petition form PTO/SB/437 must be filed in the
application via EFS-Web. Form PTO/SB/437 is available at:
http://www.uspto.gov/patents-getting-started/international-
protection/collaborative-search-pilot-program-csp. Based upon the
agreements reached between the USPTO and the partner IP offices, a separate
petition to make special must be filed in the U.S. application for each
partner IP office that the applicant designates.
   The petition (Form PTO/SB/437) includes:
   (A) An express written consent under 35 U.S.C. 122(c) for the USPTO to
accept and consider prior art references and comments from each designated
partner IP office during the examination of the U.S. application;
   (B) Written authorization for the USPTO to provide to the designated
partner IP office access to the participating U.S. application's
bibliographic data and search results in accordance with 35 U.S.C. 122(a)
and 37 CFR 1.14(c); and
   (C) A statement that the 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 of the decision on the petition to join Expanded CSP.
Note: Any petition for express abandonment under 37 CFR 1.138(d) to obtain
a refund of the search fee and excess claim fee filed after the mailing of
a decision on the petition will be granted, but the fees will not be
refunded.
 November 21, 2017 US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE 1444 OG 197  

   (3) Petitions must be filed before examination has commenced.
Examination may commence at any time after an application has been assigned
to an examiner. Petitions should preferably be filed before the application
has been assigned to an examiner to ensure that the USPTO does not examine
the application before recognizing the petition. Therefore, applicants
should check the status of the application using the Patent Application
Information and Retrieval (PAIR) system to see if the application has been
assigned to an examiner. If the application has been assigned to an
examiner, the applicant should contact the examiner to confirm that the
application has not been taken up for examination and inform the examiner
that a petition to participate in Expanded CSP is being filed. Following
this guidance will minimize delays caused by remedial corrective action
when a petition is not recognized before examination commences. Further,
examination must not have commenced in the identified corresponding
counterpart application(s) before each designated partner IP office when
filing petitions requesting participation in the U.S. application.
   (4) The petition filed in the USPTO and any request filed in a
designated partner IP office must be filed within 15 days of each other.
If the petition and request(s) are not filed within 15 days of each other,
the applicant runs the risk of one of the pending applications being acted
upon by an examiner before entry into the pilot program, which will result
in the applications being denied entry into Expanded CSP. The request for
participation filed in the corresponding counterpart application(s) for
Expanded CSP must be granted by at least one of the designated partner
IP offices in order to participate in Expanded CSP.
   (5) The petition submission must include a claims correspondence table,
which at a minimum must establish "substantial corresponding scope" between
all independent claims present in the U.S. application and the
corresponding counterpart application(s) filed in the designated partner IP
office(s). The claims correspondence table must individually list the
claims of the instant U.S. application and correlate them to the claims of
the corresponding counterpart application having a substantially
corresponding scope. Claims are considered to have a "substantially
corresponding scope" where, after accounting for differences due to claim
format requirements, the scope of the corresponding claims in the
corresponding counterpart application(s) would either anticipate or render
obvious the subject matter recited under U.S. law. Additionally, claims in
the U.S. application that introduce a new/different category of claims than
those presented in the corresponding counterpart application(s) are not
considered to substantially correspond. For example, where the
corresponding counterpart application(s) contain only claims relating to a
process of manufacturing a product, any product claims in the U.S.
application are not considered to substantially correspond, even if the
product claims are dependent on process claims that do substantially
correspond to claims in the corresponding counterpart application(s).
Applicants may file a preliminary amendment in compliance with 37 CFR
1.121 to amend the claims of the U.S. application to satisfy this
requirement when attempting to make the U.S. application eligible for the
program. A translated copy of the claims in English for each counterpart
application is required if the application in the designated partner IP
office(s) is not publicly available in English. A machine translation is
sufficient. Non-corresponding claims need not be listed.
   (6) The U.S. application must contain 3 or fewer independent claims and
20 or fewer total claims. The U.S. application must not contain any
multiple dependent claims; the corresponding counterpart application may
contain multiple dependent claims in accordance with national practice of
the partner IP office where it is filed. For a U.S. application that
contains more than 3 independent claims or 20 total claims, or any 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 to make the application eligible for the program.
   IV. Treatment of Petition: As discussed in section III, the number of
petitions to make special filed in the U.S. application must equal the
number of designated partner IP offices where a corresponding counterpart
application has been filed. At least one designated partner office must
grant the request in order for that application and the counterpart U.S.
 November 21, 2017 US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE 1444 OG 198  

application to participate in Expanded CSP.
   If examination commences in either the U.S. or a given designated
corresponding counterpart application before either the petition or request
is filed, then that combination of U.S. application and designated
corresponding counterpart application cannot participate in Expanded CSP.
Applicants are advised that, even if they timely file a request with a
designated partner office, if the USPTO is not informed by the designated
partner office of the filing of the request in the corresponding
counterpart application within 20 days of a petition filing with the USPTO,
then the USPTO may initially dismiss the petition. In such situation, the
applicant may request reconsideration, as discussed in Item B, below.
   A. Petition Grant by USPTO: Once a determination is made that all the
requirements of Section III of this notice are satisfied, the USPTO
petition will be granted and the application will be placed on the
examiner's special docket until an FAOM is issued. The USPTO and the
designated partner IP office(s) will then have four months to provide
search results. As a result, once the USPTO grants the petition, the
applicant will no longer have a right to file a preliminary amendment that
amends the claims. Any preliminary amendment filed after the petition is
granted and before issuance of an FAOM amending the claims will not be
entered unless approved by the examiner. After the petition is granted and
before issuance of the FAOM, the applicant may still submit preliminary
amendments to the specification that do not affect the claims. All such
submissions for the participating U.S. application must be filed via
EFS-Web.
   B. Petition Dismissal by USPTO: If the applicant files an incomplete
Form PTO/SB/437, or if an application accompanied by Form PTO/SB/437 does
not comply with the requirements set forth in this Notice, the USPTO will
notify the applicant of the deficiencies by dismissing the petition and the
applicant will be given a single opportunity to correct the deficiencies.
If the applicant still wishes to participate in the pilot program, the
applicant must make appropriate corrections within 1 month or 30 days of
the mailing date of the dismissal decision, whichever is longer. The time
period for reply is not extendable under 37 CFR 1.136(a). If the applicant
timely files a response to the dismissal decision correcting all the noted
deficiencies without introducing any new deficiencies, the USPTO will grant
the petition if a grantable request has been filed in a corresponding
counterpart application.
   If the applicant fails to correct the noted deficiencies within the time
period set forth, the USPTO may dismiss the petition and notify the
designated partner IP office(s). The U.S. application will then be taken up
for examination in accordance with standard examination procedures, unless
designated special in accordance with another established procedure (e.g.,
Request for Prioritized Examination, Petition to Make Special Based on
Applicant's Age).
   C. Withdrawal of Petition: An application can be withdrawn from the
pilot program only by filing a request to withdraw the petition to
participate in the pilot program prior to issuance of a decision granting
the petition. Once the petition for participation in the pilot program has
been granted, withdrawal from the pilot program is not permitted.
   V. Requirement for Restriction: The claims must be directed to a single
invention. If the examiner determines that not all the claims presented are
directed to a single invention, the telephone restriction practice set
forth in MPEP sec. 812.01 will be followed. The applicant must make an
election without traverse during the telephonic interview. If the applicant
refuses to make an election without traverse, or if the examiner cannot
reach the applicant after a reasonable effort (i.e., three business days),
the examiner will treat the first claimed invention (the group of claim 1)
as constructively elected without traverse for examination and include a
basis for the restriction or lack of unity requirement in the FAOM. When a
telephonic election is made, the examiner will provide a complete record of
the telephonic interview, including the restriction or lack of unity
requirement and the applicant's election, in the FAOM. Applicants are
strongly encouraged to ensure that applications submitted for Expanded CSP
are written such that they claim a single, independent, and distinct
invention. The applicant is responsible to ensure the same invention is
 November 21, 2017 US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE 1444 OG 199  

elected in both the U.S. and all corresponding counterpart applications for
concurrent treatment in Expanded CSP.
   VI. First Action on the Merits (FAOM): During examination, the USPTO
examiner will consider all exchanged search results and all references
submitted by the applicant in accordance with 37 CFR 1.97 and 37 CFR 1.98.
Search results that are not received by the USPTO within four months may
not be included in the FAOM. The examiner will prepare and issue an Office
action and notify the applicant if any designated partner IP office did not
provide search results prior to the issuance of the Office action. Once an
FAOM issues, the application will no longer be treated as special under
Expanded CSP.

                     MAILING AND HAND CARRY ADDRESSES FOR
             MAIL TO THE UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE

              MAIL TO BE DIRECTED TO THE COMMISSIONER FOR PATENTS

   For most correspondence (e.g., new patent applications) no mail stop
is required because the processing of the correspondence is routine.
If NO mail stop is included on the list below, no mail stop is required
for the correspondence. See the listing under "Mail to be Directed to the
Director of the Patent And Trademark Office" for additional mail stops
for patent-related correspondence. Only the specified type of document
should be placed in an envelope addressed to one of these special mail
