(49) Obtaining Copies of Interference Related Files The Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences does not provide or sell copies of interference files or the application or patent files involved in an interference. Orders for copies shall not be filed with the Board unless ordered by an Administrative Patent Judge. Individuals ordering files should note that interference files do not include the involved application or patent files, which must be ordered as separate files. Orders for copies must specifically identify the serial number, patent number or interference number of all desired files. Because of the confidentiality provisions of 35 U.S.C. 122 and 37 CFR 1.1 l(e) and 1.14, all orders for copies of pending applications or interference files must be accompanied with proof that the requester is authorized to have access to the files (e.g., copy of the power of attorney, power to inspect, and interference declaration, as appropriate). Failure to provide all necessary information with the order will delay obtaining copies or result in a denial of the order. Uncertified copies may be purchased from the Dissemination Support Division (DSD). Inquiries regarding uncertified copies must be directed to DSD at (703) 305-8716. Orders for uncertified copies may be placed by FAX, when paying by VISA/MasterCard or PTO Deposit Account, at (703) 305-8759.
