(82)           Termination of the United States Postal Service
               Interruption and Emergency under 35 U.S.C. 21(a)

   The southern California Wildfires, on October 22, 2007, resulted in a
number of United States Postal Service (USPS) post offices throughout
southern California being closed or not accepting mail. The United States
Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) published a notice on Friday, October
26, 2007, on its Internet Web site designating this interruption in the
service of the USPS as a postal service interruption and an emergency
within the meaning of 35 U.S.C. § 21(a), 37 CFR 1.10(i) and 2.195(e).  The
USPS has notified the USPTO that this interruption in the service of the
USPS ended on Thursday, October 25, 2007. Therefore, this Notice sets
forth that the USPTO terminated the designation of this interruption in
the service of the USPS as a postal service interruption and an emergency
as of the close of October 25, 2007, within the meaning of 35 U.S.C.
§ 21(a), 37 CFR 1.10(i) and 2.195(e).

   For any patent-related petitions on this matter, note 37 CFR 1.10(i) and
1.181(f).

   For any trademark-related petitions on this matter, note 37 CFR 2.198,
