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

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
should see the "Notice from the President of the European Patent
Office", dated November 26, 2001, and which was published as Annex A in
the "Notice Concerning EPO Competence to Act as PCT Authority" in
the Official Gazette at 1255 O.G. 878, on February 19, 2002.

   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.

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

Receiving Office, and where the application contains one or more claims
 February 23, 2010 US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE 1351 OG 157

   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
at 1337 O.G. 261 on December 23, 2008.

Continuation of the Patent Prosecution Highway Pilot Program between the USPTO and IPOS
	 Continuation of the Patent Prosecution Highway Pilot Program
			  between the USPTO and IPOS

   On February 2, 2009, the United States Patent and Trademark Office
(USPTO) commenced a Patent Prosecution Highway pilot program (PPH) which
enabled an applicant whose claims have been determined allowable/patentable
in an application filed in the Intellectual Property Office of Singapore
(IPOS) to have the corresponding application filed in the USPTO advanced
out of turn for examination.  See notice entitled "Patent Prosecution
Highway Pilot Program between the United States Patent and Trademark Office
and the Intellectual Property Office of Singapore," 1339 Off. Gaz. Office
160 (February 24, 2009).  The USPTO indicated that the pilot program would
last for a period of one year ending on February 2, 2010, but may be
extended for an additional time period thereafter.

   In order to adequately assess the feasibility of the PPH pilot program,
the USPTO and IPOS have agreed to extend the pilot in its current state in
order to collect more information before any formal decision on the program
is made.

   Please continue to direct inquiries on the PPH pilot program to Magdalen
Greenlief at 571-272-8800 or via e-mail addressed to
Magdalen.greenlief@uspto.gov.

			 [Docket No.: PTO-P-2010-0003]

		     Extension of the Patent Application
			Backlog Reduction Stimulus Plan

AGENCY: United States Patent and Trademark Office, Commerce.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO)
published a notice in the Federal Register providing an additional
temporary basis (the Patent Application Backlog Reduction Stimulus
Plan) under which a small entity applicant may have an application
accorded special status for examination if the applicant expressly
abandons another copending unexamined application. The Patent
Application Backlog Reduction Stimulus Plan allows small entity
applicants having multiple applications currently pending before the
USPTO to have greater control over the priority with which their
applications are examined while also stimulating a reduction of the
backlog of unexamined patent applications pending before the USPTO. The
USPTO is extending Patent Application Backlog Reduction Stimulus Plan
until June 30, 2010.

DATES: Effective Date: February 1, 2010. The Patent Application Backlog
Reduction Stimulus Plan became effective on November 27, 2009.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Pinchus M. Laufer, Office of the
Deputy Commissioner for Patent Examination Policy, by telephone at 571-
272-7726; or via e-mail addressed to Pinchus.Laufer@uspto.gov; or by
mail addressed to: Box Comments Patents, Commissioner for Patents, P.O.
Box 1450, Alexandria, VA 22313-1450.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The USPTO published a notice in the Federal
Register providing an additional temporary basis (the Patent
Application Backlog Reduction Stimulus Plan) under which a small entity
applicant may have an application accorded special status for
examination if the applicant expressly abandons another copending
unexamined application. See Patent Application Backlog Reduction
Stimulus Program, 74 FR 62285 (Nov. 27, 2009), 1349 Off. Gaz. Pat. Off.
304 (Dec. 22, 2009) (notice). The Patent Application Backlog Reduction
Stimulus Plan allows small entity applicants having multiple
applications currently pending before the USPTO to have greater control
over the priority with which their applications are examined while also
stimulating a reduction of the backlog of unexamined patent
applications pending before the USPTO. The USPTO indicated that the
program would last for a period ending on February 28, 2010, but may be
extended for an additional time period thereafter. See Patent
Application Backlog Reduction Stimulus Program, 74 FR at 62287, 1349
Off. Gaz. Pat. Off. at 306.
    The USPTO is extending Patent Application Backlog Reduction
Stimulus Plan until June 30, 2010. The USPTO may further extend the
procedures under Patent Application Backlog Reduction Stimulus Plan to
all applicants (on either a temporary or permanent basis), or may also
discontinue the procedures after June 30, 2010, depending upon the
results of the Patent Application Backlog Reduction Stimulus Plan. For
a petition under 37 CFR 1.102 to be granted under the Patent
Application Backlog Reduction Stimulus Plan (unless the Patent
Application Backlog Reduction Stimulus Plan is extended by a subsequent
notice), the petition under 37 CFR 1.102 and the letter of express
abandonment and its accompanying statement must be filed on or before
June 30, 2010.

Interim Procedure for Patentees to Request a Recalculation of the Patent Term Adjustment to Comply with the Federal Circuit Decision in Wyeth v. Kappos Regarding the Overlapping Delay Provision of 35 U.S.C. 154(b)(2)(A)
			    DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

		 Interim Procedure for Patentees to Request a
		Recalculation of the Patent Term Adjustment to
		 Comply with the Federal Circuit Decision in
	       Wyeth v. Kappos Regarding the Overlapping Delay
		      Provision of 35 U.S.C. 154(b)(2)(A)

AGENCY: United States Patent and Trademark Office, Commerce.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is
modifying the computer program it uses to calculate patent term
adjustments in light of Wyeth v. Kappos, No. 2009-1120 (Fed. Cir., Jan.
7, 2010). The USPTO expects to complete this software modification by
March 2, 2010. In the meantime, the USPTO is providing patentees with
the ability to request a recalculation of their patent term adjustment
without a fee as an alternative to the petition and fee required by 37
CFR 1.705(d). In order to qualify, a form requesting a recalculation of
the patent term adjustment must be submitted no later than 180 days
after the patent has issued and the patent must be issued prior to
March 2, 2010. In addition, this procedure is only available for
alleged errors that are specifically identified in Wyeth. The USPTO is
deciding pending petitions under 37 CFR 1.705 in accordance with the
Wyeth decision. This notice also provides information concerning the
Patent Application Information Retrieval (PAIR) screen that displays
the patent term adjustment calculation.

DATES: Effective Date: The procedure set forth in this notice is
effective on February 1, 2010.
    Applicability Date: The procedure set forth in this notice is
applicable only to patents issued prior to March 2, 2010, in which a
request for recalculation of patent term adjustment in view of Wyeth is
filed within 180 days of the day the patent was granted.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The Office of Patent Legal
Administration by telephone at (571) 272-7702, or by mail addressed to:
Mail Stop Comments-Patents, Commissioner for Patents, P.O. Box 1450,
Alexandria, VA 22313-1450.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under 35 U.S.C. 154(b)(1), an applicant is
entitled (subject to certain conditions and limitations) to patent term
adjustment for the following reason: (1) If the USPTO fails to take
certain actions during the examination and issue process within
specified time frames (35 U.S.C. 154(b)(1)(A)), which are known as the
"A" delays; (2) if the USPTO fails to issue a patent within three
years of the actual filing date of the application (35 U.S.C.
154(b)(1)(B)), which are known as the "B" delays; and (3) for delays
due to interference, secrecy order, or successful appellate review (35
U.S.C. 154(b)(1)(C)), which are known as the "C" delays. 35 U.S.C.
154(b)(2)(A) provides that "[t]o the extent that periods of delay
attributable to grounds specified in [35 U.S.C. 154(b)(1)] overlap, the
period of any adjustment granted under this subsection shall not exceed
the actual number of days the issuance of the patent was delayed.'' The
USPTO interpreted this provision as covering situations in which a
delay by the USPTO contributes to multiple bases for adjustment (the
"pre-Wyeth" interpretation of 35 U.S.C. 154(b)(2)(A)). See
Explanation of 37 CFR 1.703(f) and of the United States Patent and
Trademark Office Interpretation of 35 U.S.C. 154(b)(2)(A), 69 FR 34283
(June 21, 2004). The United States Court of Appeals for the Federal
Circuit, however, recently held in Wyeth that the USPTO's
interpretation of 35 U.S.C. 154(b)(2)(A) was too strict, and that
 February 23, 2010 US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE 1351 OG 205 

periods of delay overlap under 35 U.S.C. 154(b)(2)(A) only if the
periods which measure the amount of adjustment under 35 U.S.C.
154(b)(1) occur on the same calendar day.
    The USPTO makes patent term adjustment determinations by a computer
program that uses the information recorded in the USPTO's Patent
Application Locating and Monitoring (PALM) system, except when an
applicant requests reconsideration pursuant to 37 CFR 1.705. See
Changes to Implement Patent Term Adjustment Under Twenty-Year Patent
Term, 65 FR 56365, 56370, 56380-81 (Sept. 18, 2000) (final rule). The
USPTO is in the process of revising the computer program it uses to
calculate patent term adjustment to calculate overlapping delays
consistent with the Federal Circuit's interpretation of 35 U.S.C.
154(b)(2)(A) in Wyeth. The USPTO expects the revisions to the patent
term adjustment computer program to be in place for use on the patents
issuing on March 2, 2010.
    Patentees should note that the patent term adjustment provisions of
35 U.S.C. 154(b) are complex, there are numerous types of
communications that are exchanged between applicants and the USPTO
during the patent application process, the PALM system was not
originally designed for the purpose of calculating patent term
adjustment as provided in 35 U.S.C. 154(b), and one or more of the time
frames specified in of 35 U.S.C. 154(b)(1)(A) and (B) are not met
presently in a high percentage of the patents. In addition, revisions
to the patent term adjustment computer program necessary to calculate
overlapping delays consistent with the Federal Circuit's interpretation
of 35 U.S.C. 154(b)(2)(A) in Wyeth significantly increases the
complexity of the patent term adjustment computer program. Thus, for
patents issuing on or after March 2, 2010, a patentee who believes that
the patent term adjustment calculation for his or her patent is not
correct must file a request for reconsideration under 37 CFR 1.705(d)
that complies with the requirements of 37 CFR 1.705(b)(1) and (b)(2)
within two months of the date the patent issued. The USPTO is modifying
and will continue to modify the patent term adjustment computer program
as it becomes aware of situations in the patent term adjustment
computer program where it is not correctly calculating the applicable
patent term adjustment.
    Requests for Reconsideration of the Patent Term Adjustment
indicated in the Patent: 37 CFR 1.705(d) provides, in part, that any
request for reconsideration of the patent term adjustment indicated in
the patent must be filed within two months of the date the patent
issued and must comply with the requirements of 37 CFR 1.705(b)(1) and
(b)(2). 35 U.S.C. 154(b)(4) provides that an applicant dissatisfied
with a determination made by the Director under 35 U.S.C. 154(b)(3)
shall have remedy by a civil action against the Director filed in the
United States District Court for the District of Columbia within 180
days after the grant of the patent.
    The USPTO is providing an optional procedure under which patentees
seeking a revised patent term adjustment in a patent issued prior to
March 2, 2010, may request that the USPTO recalculate the patent term
adjustment without a request for reconsideration under 37 CFR 1.705(d)
(or fee), provided that the patentee's sole basis for requesting
reconsideration of the patent term adjustment in the patent is the
USPTO's pre-Wyeth interpretation of 35 U.S.C. 154(b)(2)(A) and such a
request is filed within 180 days of the day the patent was granted. The
USPTO is providing a Request for Recalculation of Patent Term Adjustment in
View of Wyeth form (PTO/SB/131) for use in making such a request. The
Request for Recalculation of Patent Term Adjustment in View of Wyeth form
(PTO/SB/131) is available on the USPTO Web site at
http://www.uspto.gov/forms/index.jsp. This procedure and Request for
Recalculation of Patent Term Adjustment in View of Wyeth form (PTO/SB/131)
are applicable only for patents that issue prior to March 2, 2010. The
USPTO will deny as untimely any request for recalculation of patent term
adjustment indicated on a patent that is not filed within 180 days of the
day the patent was granted. Patentees are reminded that this is an optional
procedure, and that any patentee who wishes to preserve his or her right to
review in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia of
 February 23, 2010 US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE 1351 OG 206 

the USPTO's patent term adjustment determination must ensure that he or she
also takes the steps required under 35 U.S.C. 154(b)(3) and (b)(4) and
37 CFR 1.705 in a timely manner.
    The fee specified in 37 CFR 1.18(e) is required for a request for
reconsideration under 37 CFR 1.705 (37 CFR 1.705(b)(1)), and the USPTO
may only refund fees paid by mistake or in excess of that required (35
U.S.C. 42(d)). Therefore, the procedure set forth in this notice is not
a basis for requesting a refund of the fee specified in 37 CFR 1.18(e)
for any request for reconsideration under 37 CFR 1.705, including any
previously filed request that was solely based on the USPTO's pre-Wyeth
interpretation of 35 U.S.C. 154(b)(2)(A).
    The procedure set forth in this notice and the Request for
Recalculation of Patent Term Adjustment in View of Wyeth form (PTO/SB/
131) may not be used to request a reconsideration of the patent term
adjustment indicated in the notice of allowance in an application that
has not yet issued as a patent. If the application issues as a patent
prior to March 2, 2010, the optional procedure set forth in this notice
and the Request for Recalculation of Patent Term Adjustment in View of
Wyeth form (PTO/SB/131) may be used to request recalculation of the
patent term adjustment provided on the patent. It is expected that for
applications issuing as patents on or after March 2, 2010, the patent
term adjustment calculation will be consistent with the Federal
Circuit's interpretation of 35 U.S.C. 154(b)(2)(A) in Wyeth.
    The USPTO is deciding any currently pending request for
reconsideration of the patent term adjustment indicated in the patent
under 37 CFR 1.705(d) that was filed within two months of the date the
patent issued consistent with the Federal Circuit's interpretation of
35 U.S.C. 154(b)(2)(A) in Wyeth. Patentees who received a decision on a
request for reconsideration of the patent term adjustment indicated in
the patent under 37 CFR 1.705(d) under the USPTO's pre-Wyeth
interpretation of 35 U.S.C. 154(b)(2)(A) may file a request for
reconsideration of that decision if such a request for reconsideration
is filed within two months of the date of the decision on a request for
reconsideration (37 CFR 1.181(f)). If the patentee's sole basis for
requesting reconsideration of the decision is the USPTO's pre-Wyeth
interpretation of 35 U.S.C. 154(b)(2)(A), the request for
reconsideration need only state that reconsideration is being requested
in view of the Federal Circuit's decision in Wyeth (the Request for
Recalculation of Patent Term Adjustment in View of Wyeth form (PTO/SB/
131) may also be used for this purpose).
    Patentees seeking a revised patent term adjustment in a patent
issued on or after March 2, 2010, must file a request for
reconsideration under 37 CFR 1.705(d) that complies with the
requirements of 37 CFR 1.705(b)(1) and (b)(2) within two months of the
date the patent issued.
    To the extent that the procedures adopted under the authority of 35
U.S.C. 2(b)(2) and 154(b)(3) require that any request for
reconsideration of the patent term adjustment indicated in the patent
must be filed within two months of the date the patent issued and
include the information required by 37 CFR 1.705(b)(2) and the fee
required by 37 CFR 1.18(e), these requirements are hereby sua sponte
waived for patents that meet all of the following criteria: (1) The
patent must be issued prior to March 2, 2010; (2) the patentee's sole
basis for requesting reconsideration of the patent term adjustment in
the patent is the USPTO's pre-Wyeth interpretation of 35 U.S.C.
154(b)(2)(A); and (3) the Request for Recalculation of the Patent Term
Adjustment in View of Wyeth form (PTO/SB/131) is filed within 180 days
of the day the patent was granted. See 37 CFR 1.183. This waiver does
not apply to patents issued on or after March 2, 2010, to requests that
the USPTO recalculate the patent term adjustment for alleged errors
other than that identified in Wyeth, or to any request for
reconsideration of the patent term adjustment indicated in the patent
filed later than 180 days after the patent was granted.
    Paperwork Reduction Act: This notice involves information
collection requirements which are subject to review by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
 February 23, 2010 US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE 1351 OG 207 

(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). The collection of information involved in
this notice is covered by OMB control number 0651-0020.
    Patent Term Adjustment Information Displayed in PAIR: The USPTO
provides a patent term adjustment calculation screen that is viewable
through PAIR. The patent term adjustment screen has been displaying the
following information at the right hand column: (1) USPTO delay days
(the number of days of "A" and "C" delay); (2) Three Year Delay
days (the number of days of "B" delay); (3) Applicant Delay days (the
number of days by which the USPTO delay days will be reduced); and (4)
the Total Patent Term Adjustment. Patentees who use the PAIR patent
term adjustment calculation screen should note that it does not display
the periods of delay which overlap and thus is not adequate for
calculating the patent term under the Federal Circuit's interpretation
of 35 U.S.C. 154(b)(2)(A) in Wyeth. The USPTO plans to revise this
screen to show: (1) the number of days of "A" delay; (2) the number
of days of "B" delay; (3) the number of days of "C" delay; (4) the
number of days of "A" delay that overlap with a day of "B" delay
plus the number of days of "A" delay that overlap with a day of "C"
delay (the provisions of 35 U.S.C. 154(b)(1)(B)(ii) prevent a "B"
delay period and "C" delay period from overlapping); (5) the number
of days of non-overlapping USPTO delay; (6) the number of days of
applicant delay; and (7) the total patent term adjustment. The revised
PAIR patent term adjustment screen, however, will not be ready by March
2, 2010. The USPTO expects the revised PAIR patent term adjustment
screen to be ready by July of 2010.
    Nothing in this notice shall be construed as a waiver of the
requirement of 35 U.S.C. 154(b)(4) that any civil action by an
applicant dissatisfied with a determination made by the Director under
35 U.S.C. 154(b)(3) be filed in the United States District Court for
the District of Columbia within 180 days after the grant of the patent.

Patent Prosecution Highway Pilot Program between the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the European Patent Office based on Patent Cooperation Treaty Work Products

Patent Prosecution Highway Pilot Program between the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the European Patent Office based on Patent Cooperation Treaty Work Products



I. Background

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and the European Patent Office (EPO) began a Patent Prosecution Highway (PPH) pilot program on September 29, 2008. The pilot program was extended on September 30, 2009, for one year until September 30, 2010. See “Patent Prosecution Highway Pilot Program between the United States Patent and Trademark Office and European Patent Office,” published on October 21, 2008, at 1335 OG 196 and “Continuation of the Patent Prosecution Highway Pilot Program between the USPTO and EPO,” published on October 20, 2009, at 1347 OG 170. Under this prior PPH pilot program, an applicant receiving a determination from the EPO that at least one claim in a European application is allowable/patentable may request that a corresponding application filed in the USPTO be accorded special status and be advanced out of turn for examination. This prior PPH pilot program was limited to the utilization of search and examination results of national applications between cross filings under the Paris Convention.

At the November 2009 Trilateral Conference, as part of a Trilateral effort, the Trilateral Offices (USPTO, EPO and the Japan Patent Office (JPO)) agreed to launch a new PPH pilot program based on Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) work products (PCT-PPH pilot program). The PCT-PPH pilot program will greatly expand the potential of the PPH program. This notice sets forth the requirements and details for the PCT-PPH pilot program between the USPTO and the EPO. For the requirements and details for the PCT-PPH pilot program between the USPTO and the JPO, see the corresponding notice entitled “Patent Prosecution Highway Pilot Program between the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the Japan Patent Office based on Patent Cooperation Treaty Work Products.”

By permitting the USPTO to draw upon positive PCT work products from the EPO, the PPH program will now be available to a larger number of applicants.

II. PCT-PPH Pilot Program

The PCT-PPH pilot program was established to enable an applicant, who has received

(1) a Written Opinion from an International Searching Authority (WO/ISA) (ISA must be the EPO or the USPTO), or

(2) a Written Opinion from an International Preliminary Examining Authority (WO/IPEA) (IPEA must be the EPO or the USPTO), or

(3) an International Preliminary Examination Report (IPER) from an International Preliminary Examining Authority (IPEA must be the EPO or the USPTO), that indicates at least one claim in the PCT application has novelty, inventive step and industrial applicability, to file a request to participate in the PCT-PPH pilot program in a corresponding U.S. application and petition to make the U.S. application special under the PCT-PPH pilot program. 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 petition to make special under the PCT-PPH pilot program. The procedures and requirements for filing a request in the USPTO for participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program are set forth below.

A. Trial Period for the PCT-PPH Pilot Program

The PCT-PPH pilot program will commence on January 29, 2010, for a period of two years ending on January 28, 2012. The trial period may be extended if necessary until the USPTO and the EPO receive a sufficient number of PPH requests to adequately assess the feasibility of the PCT-PPH pilot program. The USPTO and the EPO may also terminate the PCT-PPH pilot program early if the volume of participation exceeds a manageable level, or for any other reasons. Notice will be published if the PCT-PPH pilot program will be terminated before the January 28, 2012 date.

B. Requirements for Requesting Participation in the PCT-PPH Pilot Program in the USPTO

In order to be eligible to participate in the PCT-PPH pilot program, the following conditions must be met:

(1) The relationship between the corresponding U.S. application for which participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program is requested and the PCT application satisfies one of the following requirements (note that RO/-- as used in the diagrams below refers to an international application filed under the PCT in any competent receiving office):

     

(a) The U.S. application is a national stage entry of the corresponding PCT application. See diagrams (A), (A’) and (A”) below.

Diagram (A) The U.S. application is a national stage entry of the corresponding PCT application.

Diagram (A’) The U.S. application is a national stage entry of the corresponding PCT application.

Diagram (A”) The U.S. application is a national stage entry of the corresponding PCT application.

(b) The U.S. application is a national application which forms the basis for the priority claim in the corresponding PCT application. See diagram (B) below.

Provisional applications, plant applications, design applications, reissue applications and applications subject to a secrecy order (35 U.S.C. 181) are excluded and not subject to participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program.

Diagram (B) The U.S. application is a national application which forms the basis for the priority claim in the corresponding PCT application.

(c) The U.S. application is a national stage entry of another PCT application (which can be filed in any competent receiving office) which claims priority to the corresponding PCT application. See diagram (C) below.

Diagram (C) The U.S. application is a national stage entry of another PCT application which claims priority to the corresponding PCT application.

(d) The U.S. application is a national application claiming foreign/domestic priority to the corresponding PCT application. See diagram (D) below.

Design applications and applications subject to a secrecy order (35 U.S.C. 181) are excluded and not subject to participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program.

Diagram (D) The U.S. application is a national application claiming foreign/domestic priority to the corresponding PCT application.

(e) The U.S. application is a continuing application (continuation, divisional, or continuation-in-part) of the U.S. application which satisfies one of the above (a) to (d) scenarios. See diagrams (E1) and (E2) below.

Plant applications, design applications and applications subject to a secrecy order (35 U.S.C. 181) are excluded and not subject to participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program.

Diagram (E1) The U.S. application is a continuing application of an application which satisfies the requirement (a).

Diagram (E2) The U.S. application (US2) is an application Domestic priority to an application (US1) which satisfies the requirement (b).

In diagram (E2), US2 application may be a non-provisional application claiming benefit under 35 U.S.C. 119(e) to a provisional application (US1).

(2) The latest work product in the international phase of the PCT application corresponding to the U.S. application, namely the WO/ISA, or the WO/IPEA, or the IPER, indicates at least one claim in the PCT application has novelty, inventive step and industrial applicability. In case any observation is described in Box VIII of the WO/ISA, or WO/IPEA, or IPER which forms the basis for the PCT-PPH request, applicant must identify and explain why the claim(s) is/are not subject to any observation described in Box VIII irrespective of whether an amendment is submitted to correct the observation described in Box VIII. The U.S. application will not be eligible to participate in the PCT-PPH pilot program if applicant does not identify and explain why the claim(s) is/are not subject to the observation described in Box VIII.

Note that the ISA and the IPEA which produced the WO/ISA, WO/IPEA and the IPER are limited to the EPO or the USPTO. Where the JPO is the ISA and/or IPEA and applicant wishes to participate in the PCT-PPH pilot program, see the corresponding notice entitled “Patent Prosecution Highway Pilot Program between the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the Japan Patent Office based on Patent Cooperation Treaty Work Products.”

Applicant may not file a request to participate in the PCT-PPH pilot program on the basis of an International Search Report (ISR) only.

(3) Claim Correspondence

     

(a) All the claims in each U.S. application for which a request for participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program is made must sufficiently correspond to or be amended to sufficiently correspond to one or more of those claims indicated as having novelty, inventive step and industrial applicability and free of any observation described in Box VIII in the latest work product of the corresponding PCT application.


(b) Claims are considered to “sufficiently correspond” where, accounting for differences due to translations and claim format requirements, the claims in the U.S. application are of the same or similar scope as the claims indicated as having novelty, inventive step and industrial applicability and free of any observation described in Box VIII in the latest work product of the corresponding PCT application, or the claims in the U.S. application are narrower in scope than the claims indicated as having novelty, inventive step and industrial applicability and free of any observation described in Box VIII in the latest work product of the corresponding PCT application.


(c) In this regard, a claim that is narrower in scope occurs when a claim indicated as having novelty, inventive step and industrial applicability and free of any observation described in Box VIII in the latest work product of the corresponding PCT application is amended to be further limited by an additional feature that is supported in the written description of the U.S. application. The claim(s) with the narrower scope must be written in dependent form in the U.S. application for which participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program is requested.

(4) Substantive examination of the U.S. application for which participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program is requested has not begun.

(5) Applicant must file a request for participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program and a petition to make the U.S. application special under the PCT-PPH pilot program. A sample request/petition form (PTO/SB/20PCT-EP) will be available from the USPTO Web site at http://www.uspto.gov on January 29, 2010. Applicants are encouraged to use the USPTO request/petition form. A petition fee under 37 CFR 1.17(h) for the petition to make special under 37 CFR 1.102(d) is required and must be submitted.

(6) Unless already filed in the U.S. application for which participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program is requested, applicant must submit a copy of the latest international work product, WO/ISA, or WO/IPEA or IPER, which indicated that the claim(s) has/have novelty, inventive step and industrial applicability along with an English translation thereof if the copy of the latest international work product is not in the English language. A statement that the English translation is accurate is not required. Where the required documents have been previously filed in the U.S. application, applicant may simply refer to these documents and indicate in the request for participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program when these documents were previously filed in the U.S. application. Where the U.S. application and the corresponding PCT application satisfy the relationship noted in B.(1)(a) above, applicant need not submit a copy of the latest international work product along with an English translation thereof since a copy of these documents is already contained in the file wrapper of the U.S. application.

(7) Unless already filed in the U.S. application for which participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program is requested, applicant must submit a copy of the claims from the corresponding PCT application which were indicated as having novelty, inventive step and industrial applicability in the latest work product of the PCT application along with an English translation thereof and a statement that the English translation is accurate if the claims are not in the English language. Where the required documents have been previously filed in the U.S. application, applicant may simply refer to these documents and indicate in the request for participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program when these documents were previously filed in the U.S. application. If the claims in the U.S. application for which participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program is requested are identical to the claims from the corresponding PCT application, and are in the English language, applicant may just indicate such in the PCT-PPH request and it will not be necessary for applicant to submit a copy of the claims from the corresponding PCT application.

(8) 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 sufficiently correspond to the claims indicated as having novelty, inventive step and industrial applicability in the latest international work product.

(9) Applicant must submit an information disclosure statement (IDS) listing the documents cited in the international work products (ISR, WO/ISA, WO/IPEA, IPER) of the PCT application corresponding to the U.S. application for which participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program is requested (unless such an IDS has already been filed in the U.S. application, applicant may simply refer to the previously filed IDS and indicate in the request for participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program when the IDS was previously filed in the U.S. application). Applicant must submit copies of all the documents cited in the international work products of the PCT application corresponding to the U.S. application (unless the copies have already been filed in the U.S. application, applicant may simply refer to the previously filed copies of the documents and indicate in the request for participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program when the copies were previously filed in the U.S. application) except U.S. patents or U.S. patent application publications.

(10) The request for participation in the PCT-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 PCT-Patent Pros Hwy.” Information regarding EFS-Web is available at http://www.uspto.gov/ebc/efs_help.html. Any preliminary amendments and IDS submitted with the PCT-PPH documents must be separately indexed as a preliminary amendment and IDS, respectively.

Where the request for participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program and special status are granted, 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 PCT-PPH pilot program does not meet all the requirements set forth above, applicant will be notified and the defects in the request will be identified. 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 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, applicant will be notified and the U.S. application will be advanced out of turn for examination. If not perfected, applicant will be notified and the application will await action in its regular turn.

Request for participation in the PPH pilot program and special status granted in a parent application will not carry over to a continuing application. Applicant must fulfill all the conditions set forth above in order for special status to be granted in the continuing application.

C. Special Examining Procedures

Once the request for participation in the PCT-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 PCT-PPH pilot program must “sufficiently correspond” to the claims indicated as having novelty, inventive step and industrial applicability in the latest work product of the corresponding PCT application. See the definition of “sufficient correspondence” in II.B.(3) above. Applicant is required to submit a claims correspondence table along with the amendment (see II.B.(8) above). If the amended or newly added claims do not sufficiently correspond to the claims indicated as having novelty, inventive step and industrial applicability in the latest work product of the corresponding PCT application, the amendment will not be entered and will be treated as a non-responsive reply.

The PCT-PPH program does not absolve applicants of all their duties under 37 CFR 1.56 and 37 CFR 11.18. By complying with requirements II.B.(6) and (9) 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 PCT application (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.

Patent Prosecution Highway Pilot Program between the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the Japan Patent Office based on Patent Cooperation Treaty Work Products

Patent Prosecution Highway Pilot Program between the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the Japan Patent Office based on Patent Cooperation Treaty Work Products


I. Background

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and the Japan Patent Office (JPO) began full implementation of a Patent Prosecution Highway (PPH) program on January 4, 2008. See “Notice Regarding Full Implementation of Patent Prosecution Highway Program between the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the Japan Patent Office,” published on March 4, 2008, at 1328 OG 44. Under the prior PPH program, an applicant receiving a determination from the JPO that at least one claim in a Japanese application is allowable/patentable may request that a corresponding application filed in the USPTO be accorded special status and be advanced out of turn for examination. The prior PPH program was limited to the utilization of search and examination results of national applications between cross filings under the Paris Convention.

At the November 2009 Trilateral Conference, as part of a Trilateral effort, the Trilateral Offices (USPTO, JPO and European Patent Office (EPO)) agreed to launch a new PPH pilot program based on Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) work products (PCT-PPH pilot program). The PCT-PPH pilot program will greatly expand the potential of the PPH program. This notice sets forth the requirements and details for the PCT-PPH pilot program between the USPTO and the JPO. For the requirements and details for the PCT-PPH pilot program between the USPTO and the EPO, see the corresponding notice entitled “Patent Prosecution Highway Pilot Program between the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the European Patent Office based on Patent Cooperation Treaty Work Products. ”

By permitting the USPTO to draw upon positive PCT work products from the JPO, the PPH program will now be available to a larger number of applicants.

II. PCT-PPH Pilot Program

The PCT-PPH pilot program was established to enable an applicant, who has received

(1) a Written Opinion from an International Searching Authority (WO/ISA) (ISA must be the JPO or the USPTO), or

(3) an International Preliminary Examination Report (IPER) from an International Preliminary Examining Authority (IPEA must be the JPO or the USPTO),

that indicates at least one claim in the PCT application has novelty, inventive step and industrial applicability, to file a request to participate in the PCT-PPH pilot program in a corresponding U.S. application and petition to make the U.S. application special under the PCT-PPH pilot program. 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 petition to make special under the PCT-PPH pilot program. The procedures and requirements for filing a request in the USPTO for participation in the PCT-PPH pilot program are set forth below.

A. Trial Period for the PCT-PPH Pilot Program

The PCT-PPH pilot program will commence on January 29, 2010, for a period of two years ending on January 28, 2012. The trial period may be extended if necessary until the USPTO and the JPO receive a sufficient number of PPH requests to adequately assess the feasibility of the PCT-PPH pilot program. The USPTO and the JPO may also terminate the PCT-PPH pilot program early if the volume of participation exceeds a manageable level, or for any other reasons.

Revised Requirements for Requesting Participation in the Patent Prosecution Highway Program in the United States Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) (Between the USPTO and the Japan Patent Office (JPO))



On January 4, 2008, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and the Japan Patent Office (JPO) implemented a Patent Prosecution Highway (PPH) program on a permanent basis. A notice entitled “Notice Regarding Full Implementation of Patent Prosecution Highway Program between the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the Japan Patent Office” was published on March 4, 2008, at 1328 Off. Gaz. Pat. Office 44 providing the details of the PPH permanent program.

I. The USPTO and JPO agreed at the November 2009 Trilateral Conference to revise the requirements for requesting participation in the PPH permanent program to permit applicants to submit a machine translation into the English language of the copy of the latest JPO office action just prior to the “Decision to Grant a Patent” (e.g., the latest “Notification of Reasons for Refusal”) from each of the JPO application(s) containing the allowable/patentable claims that are the basis for the PPH request. The machine translation into the English language must be one that is provided by the JPO. That is, the machine translation into the English language cannot be one that is provided by a commercial service. Where a machine translation into the English language of the copy of the latest JPO office action (obtained from the JPO) is submitted, it will not be necessary to include a statement that the English translation is accurate.

Note that the acceptance of the machine translation into the English language does not apply to the copy of all claims which were determined to be allowable/patentable by the JPO. Applicants must continue to submit an English translation of the JPO allowable/patentable claims along with a statement that the English translation is accurate.

Effective January 29, 2010, the USPTO will start accepting machine translation into the English language of the copy of the latest JPO office action as indicated above.

II. The USPTO and JPO also agreed at the November 2009 Trilateral conference to revise the definition of “sufficient correspondence” of the claims on a two-year trial period basis. Claims are considered to “sufficiently correspond” where, accounting for differences due to translations and claim format, the claims in the U.S. application are of the same or similar scope as the allowable/patentable claims in the Japanese application, or the claims in the U.S. application are narrower in scope than the allowable/patentable claims in the Japanese application. The additional limitation that makes the claims in the U.S. application narrower in scope than the allowable/patentable claims in the Japanese application must have support in the written description of the U.S. application and the additional limitation must be presented in dependent form. Such dependent claims with the additional limitations must be clearly identified in the claims correspondence table.

Effective January 29, 2010, for a period of two years ending on January 28, 2012, the USPTO will accept claims written in dependent form in the U.S. application which are narrower in scope than the allowable/patentable claims in the Japanese application. The two-year trial period may be extended for up to an additional year if necessary to adequately assess the feasibility of permitting such dependent claims in the U.S. application. The USPTO will evaluate the results to determine whether or not this revised definition of “sufficient correspondence” of the claims should be fully implemented after the trial period. The USPTO may also terminate the trial period early if the number of claims in these PPH applications exceeds a manageable level, or for any other reasons. Notice will be published if the two-year trial period will be terminated before January 28, 2012.

Please continue to direct inquiries on the PPH program to Magdalen Greenlief at 571-272-8800, or via e-mail addressed to magdalen.greenlief@uspto.gov.

Subject Matter Eligibility of Computer Readable Media
	     Subject Matter Eligibility of Computer Readable Media

   The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is obliged to give
claims their broadest reasonable interpretation consistent with the
specification during proceedings before the USPTO.  See In re Zletz, 893
F.2d 319 (Fed. Cir. 1989) (during patent examination the pending claims
must be interpreted as broadly as their terms reasonably allow).  The
broadest reasonable interpretation of a claim drawn to a computer readablle
medium (also called machine readable medium and other such variations)
typically covers forms of non-transitory tangible media and transitory
propagating signals per se in view of the ordinary and customary meaning of
computer readable media, particularly when the specification is silent.
See MPEP 2111.01.  When the broadest reasonable interpretation of a claim
covers a signal per se, the claim must be rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 101 as
covering non-statutory subject matter.  See In re Nuijten, 500 F.3d 1346,
1356-57 (Fed. Cir. 2007) (transitory embodiments are not directed to
statutory subject matter) and Interim Examination Instructions for
Evaluating Subject Matter Eligibility Under 35 U.S.C. § 101, Aug. 24, 2009;
p. 2.

   The USPTO recognizes that applicants may have claims directed to
computer readable media that cover signals per se, which the USPTO must
reject under 35 U.S.C. § 101 as covering both non-statutory subject matter
and statutory subject matter.  In an effort to assist the patent community
in overcoming a rejection or potential rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 101 in
this situation, the USPTO suggests the following approach.  A claim drawn
to such a computer readable medium that covers both transitory and
non-transitory embodiments may be amended to narrow the claim to cover only
statutory embodiments to avoid a rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 101 by adding
the limitation "non-transitory" to the claim.  Cf.  Animals - Patentability,
1077 Off. Gaz. Pat. Office 24 (April 21, 1987) (suggesting that applicants
add the limitation "non-human" to a claim covering a multi-cellular
organism to avoid a rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 101).  Such an amendment
would typically not raise the issue of new matter, even when the
specification is silent because the broadest reasonable interpretation
relies on the ordinary and customary meaning that includes signals per se.
The limited situations in which such an amendment could raise issues of new
matter occur, for example, when the specification does not support a
non-transitory embodiment because a signal per se is the only viable
embodiment such that the amended claim is impermissibly broadened beyond
the supporting disclosure.  See, e.g., Gentry Gallery, Inc. v. Berkline
Corp., 134 F.3d 1473 (Fed. Cir. 1998).
