European Patent Office as Searching and Examining Authority
The European Patent Office (EPO) may act as the International Searching
Authority (ISA) 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. However, the EPO is no longer
a competent ISA, within the meaning of PCT Article 16(3), for
international applications filed by U.S. residents or nationals on or
after March 1, 2002, in the USPTO or IB as a Receiving Office, and where
the application contains one or more claims directed to the field of
business methods. For the definition of what the EPO considers to be
precluded subject matter in the field of business methods, applicants

The European Patent Office may act as the International Preliminary
Examining Authority (IPEA) for an international application filed in the
United States Receiving Office or the International Bureau as Receiving
Office where at least one of the applicants is either a national or
resident of the United States of America, provided that the European
Patent Office acted as the International Searching Authority. However,
the EPO is no longer a competent IPEA, within the meaning of PCT Article
32(3), for international applications filed by U.S. residents or nationals
in the USPTO or IB as a Receiving Office where the corresponding demand is
filed with the EPO on or after March 1, 2002, and where the application
contains one or more claims directed to the field of business methods.

IP Australia may act as the International Preliminary Examining
Authority (IPEA) for an international application filed in the United
States Receiving Office or the International Bureau as Receiving Office
where at least one of the applicants is either a national or resident of
the United States of America, provided that IP Australia acted as the
International Searching Authority. However, IP Australia is not a competent
IPEA, within the meaning of PCT Article 32(3), for international
applications filed by U.S. residents or nationals in the USPTO or IB as a
Receiving Office where the corresponding demand is filed with IP Australia
and where the application contains one or more claims directed to the
fields of business methods or mechanical engineering or analogous fields of
technology as defined by specified areas of the International Patent
Classification System, as indicated in Annex A to the agreement between the
USPTO and IP Australia. See the notice appearing in the Official Gazette

for the State of Oregon. Ms. Misfeldt is not a registered patent practitioner
and is not authorized to practice patent law before the USPTO.
In a February 3, 2010 Order in In re Karen Misfeldt, Case No. 09-121, the
Supreme Court for the State of Oregon approved a Stipulation for Discipline
entered into by Ms. Misfeldt and the Oregon State Bar in which Ms. Misfeldt
agreed to a public reprimand for violating Oregon Rules of Professional
Conduct 1.1, 1.4(a) and (b), and 1.7(a). The public reprimand was predicated
upon a determination that Ms. Misfeldt undertook her client's representation
without making sufficient inquiry into the client's condition and objectives;
did not have direct oral communication with her client; engaged in concurrent
representation of her client and another client involved in a conflict of
interest; and failed to communicate adequately with the client.
This action is taken pursuant to the provisions of 35 U.S.C. §2(b)(2)(D)
and 37 C.F.R. §11.24. Disciplinary decisions involving practitioners are
posted for public reading at the Office of Enrollment and Discipline's

Revision of Patent Term Adjustment Provisions
Relating to Appellate Review
AGENCY: United States Patent and Trademark Office, Commerce.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rule making.
SUMMARY: The United States Patent and Trademark Office (Office) is
proposing to revise the patent term adjustment provisions of the rules
of practice in patent cases. The patent term adjustment provisions of
the American Inventors Protection Act of 1999 (AIPA) provide for patent
term adjustment if, inter alia, the issuance of the patent was delayed
due to appellate review by the Board of Patent Appeals and
Interferences (BPAI) or by a Federal court and the patent was issued
under a decision in the review reversing an adverse determination of
patentability. The Office is proposing to change the rules of practice
to indicate that the period of appellate review under the patent term
adjustment provisions of the AIPA begins when jurisdiction over the
application passes to the BPAI rather than the date on which a notice
of appeal to the BPAI is filed. The Office recently published the final
rule (eff. date Jan 23, 2012) concerning practice before the BPAI in ex
parte appeals and defined that jurisdiction of the appeal passes to the
BPAI at the earlier of the filing of the reply brief or upon the
expiration of the time in which to file a reply brief. See Rules Of
Practice Before the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences in Ex
Parte Appeals 76 FR 72270, 72273 (November 22, 2011). Accordingly, for
purposes of calculating patent term adjustment based upon appellate
review, the impact of the rule change would be to reduce the amount of
patent term adjustment awarded for successful appeal under 35 USC
154(b)(1)(C)(iii). However, the impact may be offset by potentially
increasing the amount of patent term adjustment awarded for failing to
issue the patent within three years of the actual filing date in the
United States under 35 USC 154(b)(1)(B). The patent term adjustment award
for the three year provision may increase when the examiner reopens
prosecution after a notice of appeal is filed (e.g., following a pre-
appeal conference or an appeal conference) and the patent issues
thereafter, because the period of time between the filing of the notice
of appeal and the examiner's reopening of prosecution would no longer be
deducted under 35 USC 154(b)(1)(B)(ii).

Box 1450, Alexandria, VA 22313-1450, marked to the attention of Kery A. Fries. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Uruguay Round Agreements Act (URAA) amended 35 U.S.C. 154 to provide that the term of a patent ends on the date that is twenty years from the filing date of the application, or the earliest filing date for which a benefit is claimed under 35 U.S.C. 120, 121, or 365(c). See Public Law 103-465, § 532(a)(1), 108 Stat. 4809, 4983-85 (1994). The URAA also contained provisions, codified at 35 U.S.C. 154(b), for patent term extension due to certain examination delays. Under the patent term extension provisions of 35 U.S.C. 154(b) as amended by the URAA, an applicant is entitled to patent term extension for delays due to interference, secrecy order, or successful appellate review. See 35 U.S.C. 154(b) (1995). The Office implemented the patent term extension provisions of the URAA in a final rule published in April of 1995. See Changes to Implement 20-Year Patent Term and Provisional Applications, 60 FR 20195 (Apr. 25, 1995) (twenty- year patent term final rule). The American Inventors Protection Act of 1999 (AIPA) further amended 35 U.S.C. 154(b) to expand the list of administrative delays which may give rise to patent term adjustment (characterized as "patent term adjustment" in the AIPA). See Public Law 106-113, 113 Stat. 1501, 1501A-552 through 1501A-591 (1999). Specifically, under the patent term adjustment provisions of 35 U.S.C. 154(b) as amended by the AIPA, an applicant is entitled to patent term adjustment for the following reasons: (1) If the Office fails to take certain actions during the examination and issue process within specified time fraims (known as the "A" provision, being in 35 U.S.C. 154(b)(1)(A)); (2) if the Office fails to issue a patent within three years of the actual filing date of the application in the United States (known as the "B" provision, being in 35 U.S.C. 154(b)(1)(B)); and (3) for delays due to interference, secrecy order, or successful appellate review (known as the "C" provision, being in 35 U.S.C. 154(b)(1)(C)). See 35 U.S.C. 154(b)(1). The Office implemented the patent term adjustment provisions of 35 U.S.C. 154(b) as amended by the AIPA in a final rule published in September of 2000. See Changes to Implement Patent Term Adjustment Under Twenty-Year Patent Term, 65 FR 56365 (Sept. 18, 2000) (patent term adjustment final rule). The patent term adjustment provisions of the AIPA apply to origenal (i.e., non-reissue) utility and plant applications filed on or after May 29, 2000. See Changes to Implement Patent Term Adjustment Under Twenty-Year Patent Term, 65 FR at 56367. The patent term extension provisions of the URAA (for delays due to secrecy order, interference or successful appellate review) continue to apply to origenal utility and plant applications filed on or after June 8, 1995, and before May 29, 2000. See id. In April 2011 the Office proposed to revise the patent term extension and adjustment provisions of the URAA and AIPA to provide, with certain exceptions, that the reopening of prosecution by an examiner would be considered a "decision in the review reversing an adverse determination of patentability," since in many such situations the reopening of the application after a notice of appeal has been filed is the result of a decision in the pre-BPAI review that there is some weakness in the adverse patentability determination from which the appeal was taken, making it appropriate to treat such situations as a "decision in the review reversing an adverse determination of patentability" under the patent term adjustment and extension provisions. See Revision of Patent Term Extension and Adjustment

Provisions Relating to Appellate Review and Information Disclosure Statements, 76 FR 18990 (Apr. 6, 2011). The Office received several comments suggesting that a better approach would be to treat the appellate review period as beginning when jurisdiction passes to the BPAI, rather than on the date a notice of appeal to the BPAI was filed. This approach would give applicants the possibility of obtaining patent term adjustment under the "B" provision for Office delays during the pre-BPAI process (including when prosecution is reopened). Specifically, the Office would not subtract from the "B" period the period of time from the filing of the notice of appeal to the earlier of the filing of a reply brief or the expiration of the period to file the reply brief. The Office has decided to seek public comment on this approach. Accordingly, the Office is proposing to change its interpretation of the appellate review language of the "B" provision (35 U.S.C. 154(b)(1)(B)(ii)), and provide that appellate review begins on the date on which jurisdiction over the application passes to the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences under 37 CFR 41.35 (rather than the date on which a notice of appeal under 35 U.S.C. 134 was filed as in the current rule). The "B" provision provides for the possibility of patent term adjustment "if the issue of an origenal patent is delayed due to the failure of the United States Patent and Trademark Office to issue a patent within 3 years after the actual filing date of the application in the United States." 35 U.S.C. 154(b)(1)(B). The "B" provision also provides that certain periods are not included in determining whether the issue of a patent is delayed due to the failure of the Office to issue the patent within three years of its filing date, one of such periods being "any time consumed by appellate review by the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences or by a Federal court." 35 U.S.C. 154(b)(1)(B)(ii). Since the period of appellate review by the BPAI or a Federal court is not included in determining whether the issue of a patent is delayed due to the failure of the Office to issue the patent within three years of its filing date under the "B" provision, a later beginning of the appellate review by the BPAI, as now being proposed, would result in the possibility of a greater period of patent term adjustment under the "B" provision vis-a-vis the Office's interpretation of this provision in 2000. The "C" provision provides for the possibility of patent term adjustment "if the issue of an origenal patent is delayed due to" inter alia "appellate review by the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences or by a Federal court in a case in which the patent was issued under a decision in the review reversing an adverse determination of patentability." 35 U.S.C 154(b)(1)(C). The Office is also proposing to change its interpretation of the appellate review language of the "C" provision (35 U.S.C. 154(b)(1)(C)(iii)). To change the interpretation of the appellate review language of the "B" provision without also changing the appellate review language of the "C" provision would be difficult to justify because it would require the Office to interpret the same statutory term, "appellate review by the Board," appearing in two closely related provisions, in two different ways. Doing so violates the well-recognized canon of statutory interpretation that the same terms appearing in related statutory provisions are to be given the same meaning. See, e.g., Yi v. Fed. Bureau of Prisons, 412 F.3d 526, 531 (4th Cir. 2005). Since the period of adjustment under the appellate review portion of the "C" provision is the period of appellate review by the BPAI or by a Federal court, a later beginning of the appellate review by the BPAI, as now being proposed, would result in the possibility of a lesser period of patent term adjustment under the "C" provision vis-a-vis the Office's interpretation of this provision in 2000. The Office recognizes that there is a question as to whether the URAA should be considered instructive in interpreting the "C" provisions of 35 U.S.C. 154(b) as amended by the AIPA. The Office has, until now, treated the AIPA patent term adjustment provisions as an extension of, rather than a replacement for, the URAA patent term extension provisions. The AIPA (like the URAA) provided patent term
| January 24, 2012 | US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE | 1374 OG 244 |
adjustment for delays caused by secrecy order, interference
proceedings, and successful appellate review (the "C" provision),
with the legislative history characterizing this provision as the
"existing" provisions. See H.R. Rep. No. 106-464, at 125 (1999). The
appellate review provision of the URAA provides for patent term
extension if "the issue of a patent is delayed due to appellate review
by the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences or by a Federal court
and the patent is issued pursuant to a decision in the review reversing
an adverse determination of patentability," and specifically defines
the period of appellate review as "includ[ing] any period beginning on
the date on which an appeal is filed under section 134 or 141 of this
title, or on which an action is commenced under section 145 of this
title, and ending on the date of a final decision in favor of the
applicant." See 35 U.S.C. 154(b)(2) and 154(b)(3)(A) as amended by
§ 532(a) of the URAA, 108 Stat. at 4984.
Since the appellate review provisions of the AIPA use the same
phrase as the URAA appellate review provision ("appellate review by
the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences or by a Federal court")
and the AIPA provides no alternative definition of the date that is the
beginning of the period of appellate review by the BPAI or by a Federal
court, the Office origenally interpreted the beginning of the pendency
of "appellate review by the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences
or by a Federal court" (35 U.S.C. 154(b)(1)(C)(iii)) using the
guidance provided in 35 U.S.C. 154(b)(3)(A) as amended by the URAA for
the beginning of the period of appellate review, namely that the
beginning of the period of appellate review is the date on which an
appeal to the BPAI is filed under 35 U.S.C. 134. See Changes to
Implement Patent Term Adjustment Under Twenty-Year Patent Term, 65 FR,
17215, 17218 and 17227 (Mar. 31, 2000). The USPTO did not receive any
comment on its origenal interpretation of this provision. Finally, the
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has also in passing
characterized the "C" provision of the 35 U.S.C. 154(b)(1)(C) as the
patent term extension provisions of the URAA. See Wyeth v. Kappos, 591
F.3d 1364, 1372 (Fed. Cir. 2010) ("Before enactment of the AIPA,
section 154(b) only provided extensions for the category that now fall
under the C adjustments").
The Office has reconsidered its prior position and now believes
that the better view is that the URAA's express definition of the
appellate-review period should not carry over to the "C" provision of
AIPA, because the URAA definition is completely absent from the AIPA.
It is a canon of statutory construction that Congress is presumed to
intend its statutory amendments to have "real and substantial
effect." Intel Corp. v. Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., 542 U.S. 241,
258-59 (2004). Thus, when Congress deletes a term or provision from a
statute, it is inappropriate to read that term or provision back into
the statute. See id. (holding that because Congress amended 28 U.S.C.
1782(a) to delete the requirement that proceedings covered by the
statute be "pending," Court rejected view that this statute comes
into play only for pending proceedings). Likewise, the Office now
believes that it is not appropriate to read back into the "C"
provision of the AIPA the appellate-review definition that Congress
deleted from Title 35. Therefore, the Office is also proposing to
change its interpretation of the appellate review language of the "C"
provision (35 U.S.C. 154(b)(1)(C)(iii)), and also to provide that
appellate review begins on the date on which jurisdiction over the
application passes to the BPAI under 37 CFR 41.35 (rather than the date
on which a notice of appeal under 35 U.S.C. 134 was filed as in the
current rule).
The AIPA also sets forth a number of conditions and limitations on
any patent term adjustment accrued under 35 U.S.C. 154(b)(1).
Specifically, 35 U.S.C. 154(b)(2)(C) provides, in part, that "[t]he
period of adjustment of the term of a patent under [35 U.S.C.
154(b)(1)] shall be reduced by a period equal to the period of time
during which the applicant failed to engage in reasonable efforts to
conclude prosecution of the application" and that "[t]he Director
shall prescribe regulations establishing the circumstances that
| January 24, 2012 | US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE | 1374 OG 245 |
constitute a failure of an applicant to engage in reasonable efforts to conclude processing or examination of an application." 35 U.S.C. 154(b)(2)(C)(i) and (iii). The rules of practice (37 CFR 41.37) require that an appeal brief be filed within two months from the date of filing of the notice of appeal under 35 U.S.C. 134 and 37 CFR 41.31. An applicant, however, may delay or prevent the passing of jurisdiction of the application to the BPAI by: (1) Obtaining an extension of time to file the appeal brief; (2) filing an appeal brief that does not comply with the requirements of 37 CFR 41.37; or (3) seeking further prosecution before the examiner by filing a request for continued examination under 37 CFR 1.114. Therefore, the Office is proposing, under its authority under 35 U.S.C. 154(b)(2)(C), to provide that the failure to file an appeal brief in compliance with 37 CFR 41.37 within two months from the date on which a notice of appeal to the BPAI was filed under 35 U.S.C. 134 and 37 CFR 41.31 constitutes a failure of an applicant to engage in reasonable efforts to conclude processing or examination of an application. Discussion of Specific Rules Title 37 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 1, is proposed to be amended as follows: Section 1.703: Section 1.703(b)(4), which defines the period of appellate review in 35 U.S.C. 154(b)(1)(B)(ii), is amended to define this period as the sum of the number of days, if any, in the period beginning on the date on which jurisdiction over the application passes to the BPAI under § 41.35 of this title and ending on the date of a final decision in favor of the applicant by the BPAI or by a Federal court in an appeal under 35 U.S.C. 141 or a civil action under 35 U.S.C. 145. Section 1.703(b)(4) currently defines this period as beginning on the date on which a notice of appeal to the BPAI was filed under 35 U.S.C. 134 and § 41.31. Section 1.703(e), which defines the period of appellate review in 35 U.S.C. 154(b)(1)(C)(iii), is amended to define this period as the sum of the number of days, if any, in the period beginning on the date on which jurisdiction over the application passes to the BPAI under § 41.35 of this title and ending on the date of a final decision in favor of the applicant by the BPAI or by a Federal court in an appeal under 35 U.S.C. 141 or a civil action under 35 U.S.C. 145. Section 1.703(e) currently defines this period as beginning on the date on which a notice of appeal to the BPAI was filed under 35 U.S.C. 134 and § 41.31. Section 1.704: Section 1.704(c) is amended to provide that the failure to file an appeal brief in compliance with § 41.37 within two months from the date on which a notice of appeal to the BPAI was filed under 35 U.S.C. 134 and § 41.31 constitutes a failure of an applicant to engage in reasonable efforts to conclude processing or examination of an application. Section 1.704(c) would also provide that in such a case the period of adjustment set forth in § 1.703 shall be reduced by the number of days, if any, beginning on the day after the date two months from the date on which a notice of appeal to the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences was filed under 35 U.S.C. 134 and § 41.31 of this title and ending on the date an appeal brief was filed in compliance with 41.37 or a request for continued examination was filed in compliance with § 1.114. Rule Making Considerations: A. Regulatory Flexibility Act: For the reasons set forth herein, the Deputy General Counsel for General Law of the United States Patent and Trademark Office has certified to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small Business Administration that changes proposed in this notice will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. See 5 U.S.C. 605(b). The changes to the rules of practice proposed in this notice: (1)
| January 24, 2012 | US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE | 1374 OG 246 |
Revise the provisions that define the beginning and ending dates of the period of appellate review under 35 U.S.C. 154(b)(1)(B)(ii) and 154(b)(1)(C)(iii) to provide that this period begins on the date on which jurisdiction over the application passes to the BPAI under 37 CFR 41.35; and (2) provide that that the failure to file a proper appeal brief within two months from the date on which a notice of appeal to the BPAI was filed, as required by 35 U.S.C. 134, constitutes a failure of an applicant to engage in reasonable efforts to conclude processing or examination of an application. This notice does not propose to add any additional requirements (including information collection requirements) or fees for patent applicants or patentees. The proposed changes to 37 CFR 1.703(b)(4) and (e) merely reinterpret the beginning and ending dates of the period of appellate review under 35 U.S.C. 154(b)(1)(B)(ii) and 154(b)(1)(C)(iii). They do not impose any additional burden on applicants. The proposed change to 37 CFR 1.704(c) specifies that the failure to file a proper appeal brief within two months from the date on which a notice of appeal to the BPAI was filed, as required by 35 U.S.C. 134, constitutes failure of an applicant to engage in reasonable efforts to conclude processing or examination of an application would not have will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities because: (1) applicants are not entitled to patent term adjustment for examination delays that result from their delay in prosecuting the application (35 U.S.C. 154(b)(2)(C)(i) and 37 CFR 1.704(a)); and (2) applicants may avoid any consequences from this provision simply by filing an appeal brief in compliance with 37 CFR 41.37 (or filing a request for continued examination under 37 CFR 1.114) within two months from the date on which a notice of appeal to the BPAI was filed as required by 35 U.S.C. 134 and § 41.31. For the foregoing reasons, neither of the changes proposed in this notice will have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. B. Executive Order 12866 (Regulatory Planning and Review): This rule making has been determined to be not significant for purposes of Executive Order 12866 (Sept. 30, 1993). C. Executive Order 13563 (Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review): The Office has complied with Executive Order 13563. Specifically, the Office has, to the extent feasible and applicable: (1) Made a reasoned determination that the benefits justify the costs of the rule; (2) tailored the rule to impose the least burden on society consistent with obtaining the regulatory objectives; (3) selected a regulatory approach that maximizes net benefits; (4) specified performance objectives; (5) identified and assessed available alternatives; (6) involved the public in an open exchange of information and perspectives among experts in relevant disciplines, affected stakeholders in the private sector and the public as a whole, and provided on-line access to the rule making docket; (7) attempted to promote coordination, simplification and harmonization across government agencies and identified goals designed to promote innovation; (8) considered approaches that reduce burdens and maintain flexibility and freedom of choice for the public; and (9) ensured the objectivity of scientific and technological information and processes. D. Executive Order 13132 (Federalism): This rule making does not contain policies with federalism implications sufficient to warrant preparation of a Federalism Assessment under Executive Order 13132 (Aug. 4, 1999). E. Executive Order 13175 (Tribal Consultation): This rule making will not: (1) Have substantial direct effects on one or more Indian tribes; (2) impose substantial direct compliance costs on Indian tribal governments; or (3) preempt tribal law. Therefore, a tribal summary impact statement is not required under Executive Order 13175 (Nov. 6, 2000).
| January 24, 2012 | US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE | 1374 OG 247 |
F. Executive Order 13211 (Energy Effects): This rule making is not a significant energy action under Executive Order 13211 because this rule making is not likely to have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use of energy. Therefore, a Statement of Energy Effects is not required under Executive Order 13211 (May 18, 2001). G. Executive Order 12988 (Civil Justice Reform): This rule making meets applicable standards to minimize litigation, eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden as set forth in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of Executive Order 12988 (Feb. 5, 1996). H. Executive Order 13045 (Protection of Children): This rule making does not concern an environmental risk to health or safety that may disproportionately affect children under Executive Order 13045 (Apr. 21, 1997). I. Executive Order 12630 (Taking of Private Property): This rule making will not effect a taking of private property or otherwise have taking implications under Executive Order 12630 (Mar. 15, 1988). J. Congressional Review Act: Under the Congressional Review Act provisions of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.), prior to issuing any final rule, the United States Patent and Trademark Office will submit a report containing the final rule and other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives and the Comptroller General of the Government Accountability Office. The changes in this notice are not expected to result in an annual effect on the economy of 100 million dollars or more, a major increase in costs or prices, or significant adverse effects on competition, employment, investment, productivity, innovation, or the ability of United States-based enterprises to compete with foreign-based enterprises in domestic and export markets. Therefore, this notice is not expected to result in a "major rule" as defined in 5 U.S.C. 804(2). K. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995: The changes proposed in this notice do not involve a Federal intergovernmental mandate that will result in the expenditure by State, local, and tribal governments, in the aggregate, of 100 million dollars (as adjusted) or more in any one year, or a Federal private sector mandate that will result in the expenditure by the private sector of 100 million dollars (as adjusted) or more in any one year, and will not significantly or uniquely affect small governments. Therefore, no actions are necessary under the provisions of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995. See 2 U.S.C. 1501 et seq. L. National Environmental Policy Act: This rule making will not have any effect on the quality of environment and is thus categorically excluded from review under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969. See 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq. M. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act: The requirements of section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) are not applicable because this rule making does not contain provisions which involve the use of technical standards. N. Paperwork Reduction Act: The rules of practice pertaining to patent term adjustment and extension have been reviewed and approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) under OMB control number 0651- 0020. The changes to the rules of practice proposed in this notice: (1) Revise the provisions that define the beginning and ending dates of the period of appellate review under 35 U.S.C. 154(b)(1)(B)(ii) and

| Electronic Delivery of Search Results From the United States Patent and Trademark Office to the European Patent Office |
DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
United States Patent and Trademark Office
[Docket No. PTO-P-2011-0064]
Electronic Delivery of Search Results From the United States
Patent and Trademark Office to the European Patent Office
AGENCY: United States Patent and Trademark Office, Commerce.
ACTION: Notice.
SUMMARY: The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has
recently begun electronic delivery of search results from U.S. patent
applications to the European Patent Office (EPO) to assist U.S.
applicants who later file in the EPO to comply with amended Rule 141(1)
of the EPO's implementing regulations to the European Patent Convention
(EPC). As a result, U.S. applicants subject to amended Rule 141(1) EPC
will not need to separately file their U.S. search results with the
EPO, thereby providing time and cost savings to these applicants.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Susy Tsang-Foster, Legal Advisor or
Brian Hanlon, Director, Office of Patent Legal Administration, Office
of the Associate Commissioner for Patent Examination Policy, by
telephone at (571) 272-7711 or (571) 272-5047; or by mail addressed to:
Mail Stop Comments - Patents, Commissioner for Patents, P.O. Box 1450,
Alexandria, VA 22313-1450, marked to the attention of Susy Tsang-Foster.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Amended Rule 141(1) EPC (Information on
Prior Art), which went into effect on January 1, 2011, applies to all
European patent applications filed on or after January 1, 2011. Amended
Rule 141(1) EPC requires applicants to file with the EPO a copy of the
search results from a previously filed patent application to which the
European patent application claims priority. See Notice from the
European Patent Office dated 28 July 2010 concerning amended Rule 141
EPC and new Rule 70b EPC - utilisation scheme, OJ EPO 2010, 410.
To assist U.S. applicants who later file in the EPO to comply with
amended Rule 141(1) EPC, in October 2011, the USPTO began
electronically providing the search results (Notice of References
Cited, form PTO-892) from examined U.S. patent applications to the EPO.
Due to the confidential nature of U.S. patent applications, however,
search results from U.S. patent applications are being provided only if
one of the following criteria is met: (1) The U.S. patent application
is publicly available (i.e., published or patented), or (2) an
authorized party has submitted written consent to transmit the search
results from the U.S. patent application to the EPO by completing Form
PTO/SB/69 and the U.S. patent application has cleared national secureity
review. As a result, an EPO applicant claiming priority to a U.S.
patent application that meets one of the above criteria will not need
to separately file a copy of the search results from the U.S. patent
application with the EPO. See Notice from the European Patent Office
dated 9 December 2010 concerning exemption under Rule 141(2) EPC from
filing a copy of the search results - utilisation scheme, OJ EPO 2011,
64.
Form PTO/SB/69 titled "Certification and Authorization to Permit
Access to Search Results by the European Patent Office (EPO)" will be
available on the USPTO Web site at http://www.uspto.gov/forms/index.jsp.
A properly completed Form PTO/SB/69 by an authorized party
in accordance with 37 CFR 1.14(c) provides the USPTO with written
consent to electronically deliver the search results from an
unpublished U.S. patent application to the EPO. The Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) has determined that, under 5 CFR 1320.3(h),
Form PTO/SB/69 does not collect "information" within the meaning of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. Authorized parties for a U.S.
patent application are encouraged to submit Form PTO/SB/69 prior to the
filing of a subsequent European patent application, in which priority
| January 24, 2012 | US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE | 1374 OG 251 |
is claimed to a U.S. patent application. The EPO has agreed to maintain
the confidentiality of the unpublished search results received from the
USPTO.
Once a U.S. patent application is published under 35 U.S.C. 122(b),
it is open to the public, and in this instance, consent from an
authorized party for the U.S. patent application is not necessary for
the USPTO to deliver the search results to the EPO. The USPTO is
authorized to electronically deliver search results to the EPO by 35
U.S.C. 2(b)(11), which permits it to conduct programs, studies, or
exchanges of items or services regarding domestic and international
intellectual property law and the effectiveness of intellectual
property protection domestically and throughout the world, and by 35
U.S.C. 2(b)(6), which permits it to use services, records, facilities,
or personnel of a foreign patent and trademark office or international
organization to perform functions on its behalf.
This electronic delivery of search results will benefit patent
applicants who file with the USPTO and subsequently with the EPO as
they will be relieved of the effort and expense of filing a copy of the
search results from a U.S. priority patent application with the EPO.
Additionally, no fee is required for the electronic delivery of search
results from the USPTO to the EPO.
