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

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 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.

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

Notice of Reprimand and Probation
                       Notice of Reprimand and Probation

   Jason M. Head of Virginia Beach, Virginia, is an attorney licensed to
practice in the Commonwealth of Virginia and has practiced before the
United States Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO") in trademark matters.
Mr. Head is not a registered patent practitioner. The USPTO has publicly
reprimanded Mr. Head and placed him on probation for violating 37 C.F.R.
§§ 10.23(a) and (b) based on his being suspended from the practice of law
from December 16, 2010, to January 20, 2011, by the Virginia State Bar for
violating Rules 1.3(a), 1.4(a), 1.15(a), 1.15(e)(1), 4.1(a), 7.1(a)(1),
7.5(a), and 8.4(c) of the Virginia Rules of Professional Conduct. Mr. Head
may practice trademark and other non-patent law before the USPTO during his
probation unless he is subsequently suspended by the USPTO or he becomes
ineligible to so practice pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 11.14(a).

   In connection with his duties as a closing agent in real estate
transactions Respondent violated the Virginia Rules of Professional Conduct.
In addition, Respondent failed to register under the Consumer Real Estate
Settlement Protection Act, even though he was obligated to do so. Mr. Head
did not engage in the practice of trademark or other  non-patent law before
the Office during the period of his suspension, i.e., from December 16, 2010,
to January 20, 2011; Mr. Head self-reported his suspension to the USPTO; and
Mr. Head notified all the clients he was representing before the USPTO of his
Virginia suspension.

   This action is taken pursuant to the provisions of 35 U.S.C. § 2(b)(2)(D)
and 37 C.F.R. §§ 11.20, 11.26, and 11.59. Disciplinary decisions regarding
practitioners are posted at the Office of Enrollment and Discipline's Reading
Room located at: http://des.uspto.gov/Foia/OEDReadingRoom.jsp.

Establishing a One-Year Retention Period for Patent-Related Papers That Have Been Scanned Into the Image File Wrapper System or the Supplemental Complex Repository for Examiners
                            DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
                          Patent and Trademark Office
                         [Docket No. PTO-P-2011-0032]

          Establishing a One-Year Retention Period for Patent-Related
    Papers That Have Been Scanned Into the Image File Wrapper System or the
                 Supplemental Complex Repository for Examiners

AGENCY: United States Patent and Trademark Office, Commerce.

ACTION: Request for Comments.

SUMMARY: The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is considering
establishing a retention period of one year for patent-related papers that
have been scanned into the Image File Wrapper system (IFW) or the Supplemental
Complex Repository for Examiners (SCORE). Specifically, the USPTO is
considering establishing a one-year retention period that begins on September
1, 2011, for papers scanned into IFW or SCORE prior to September 1, 2011; or
a paper's submission date, for papers scanned into IFW or SCORE on or after
September 1, 2011. After the expiration of the one-year retention period
(after September 1, 2012, or later), the USPTO would dispose of the paper
unless, within sufficient time prior to disposal of the paper, the relevant
patent applicant, patent owner, or reexamination party files a bona fide
request to correct the electronic record of the paper in IFW or SCORE, and
the request remains outstanding at the time disposal of the paper would have
otherwise occurred. Establishing a one-year retention period for papers
scanned into IFW or SCORE would replace the USPTO's past practice of
indefinitely retaining the papers, which has been rendered unnecessary and
cost-ineffective by improvements in scanning and indexing.

DATES: Comment Deadline Date: To be ensured of consideration, written
comments must be received on or before October 28, 2011. No public hearing
will be held.

ADDRESSES: Comments concerning this notice may be sent by electronic mail
message over the Internet addressed to IFWPaperRetention@uspto.gov, or
submitted by mail addressed to: Mail Stop Comments - Patents, Commissioner
for Patents, P.O. Box 1450, Alexandria, VA 22313-1450. Although comments may
be submitted by mail, the USPTO prefers to receive comments via the Internet.

   The comments will be available for public inspection at the Office of the
Commissioner for Patents, located in Madison East, Tenth Floor, 600 Dulany
Street, Alexandria, Virginia, and will be available via the USPTO Internet
Web site (address: http://www.uspto.gov). Because comments will be available
for public inspection, information that is not desired to be made public,
such as an address or phone number, should not be included in the comments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: IFW is the USPTO's system for electronically
storing and maintaining the files of patent applications and reexamination
proceedings. The image files in IFW for patent applications and reexamination
proceedings are the official records of those patent applications and
reexamination proceedings. See Changes to Implement Electronic Maintenance of
Official Patent Application Records, 68 FR 38611 (June 30, 2003), 1272 Off.
Gaz. Pat. Office 197 (July 29, 2003). The USPTO stores in IFW documents it
receives over the Electronic Filing System - Web (EFS-Web). In particular,
the USPTO converts Portable Document Format (PDF) files submitted by users
into Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) image files and then stores the TIFF
image files in IFW as part of the official record for the relevant patent
application or reexamination proceeding. The USPTO also stores in IFW as part of
 September 27, 2011 US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE 1370 OG 212 

the official record of a patent application or reexamination proceeding the
image files that it creates when it scans documents filed in paper, i.e.,
filed by mail, at the USPTO's Customer Service Window, or, when permitted,
facsimile. After being scanned into IFW, the papers are no longer part of the
official record.

   Since July 1, 2003, the USPTO has been scanning into IFW newly received
patent applications filed in paper. See Notification of United States Patent
and Trademark Office Patent Application Records being Stored and Processed in
Electronic Form, 1271 Off. Gaz. Pat. Office 100 (June 17, 2003). In
particular, the USPTO since July 1, 2003, has been scanning into IFW newly
received, paper-filed (1) Nonprovisional applications under 35 U.S.C. 111(a),
(2) provisional applications under 35 U.S.C. 111(b), (3) plant applications
under 35 U.S.C. 161, (4) design applications under 35 U.S.C. 171, and (5)
reissue applications under 35 U.S.C. 251. Newly received, paper-filed
nonprovisional applications under 35 U.S.C. 371 have been scanned into IFW
as of November 30, 2005, and newly received, paper-filed international
applications under the Patent Cooperation Treaty have been scanned into IFW
as of January 1, 2007. In addition, the USPTO since August 2004 has been
scanning into IFW newly received, paper-filed requests for reexamination.

   Once an application or request for reexamination has been scanned into
IFW, follow-on documents that are filed in paper for the application or
reexamination proceeding are scanned into IFW. Follow-on documents are
documents filed after the initial submission of the application or request
for reexamination which include, but are not limited to, the following:
amendments, information disclosure statements (IDS), replies to Office
actions and notices, evidence, petitions, and other documents filed after the
filing of an application or request for reexamination. Additionally, the
USPTO scans into IFW all USPTO communications for applications and requests
for reexamination that have been scanned into IFW.

   The USPTO has also scanned into IFW the paper file wrappers, i.e., all of
the papers, including the initial applications or requests for
reexamination, follow-on documents, and USPTO communications, of many
applications filed prior to July 1, 2003, and many requests for reexamination
filed prior to August 2004. For example, between 2003 and 2005, the USPTO
physically moved its principal office to Alexandria, Virginia. During that
period, the USPTO scanned into IFW the paper file wrappers of many of the
then-pending 600,000 patent applications. Further, the USPTO routinely scans
into IFW the paper file wrappers of applications filed prior to July 1, 2003,
that were not pending during the 2003-2005 transition. For example, such
scanning occurs when a document, e.g., a request for patent term extension
under 35 U.S.C. 156, is filed that necessitates repeated viewing of the paper
file wrapper by one or more USPTO employees.

   Not all documents filed via EFS-Web or in paper are stored in IFW.
For example, grayscale and color images are converted to black and white
images when stored in IFW. Accordingly, documents such as photographs and
color or grayscale drawings, which would be degraded if stored in IFW as black
and white images, are not stored in IFW. Prior to 2007, documents that would
be degraded if stored in IFW as black and white images were placed into
Artifact Folders, and Artifact Sheets were then scanned into IFW as
placeholders. By 2007, the USPTO had fully deployed SCORE, a data repository
system designed to augment IFW with the capture and retrieval of non-standard
content, such as color and grayscale drawings, complex tables, and sequence
listings. Thus, since 2007, the USPTO stores in SCORE as part of the official
record documents that would be degraded if stored in IFW as black and white
images. In addition, the USPTO since 2007 scans into SCORE as part of the
official record documents that were previously in Artifact Folders when, for
example, an examiner makes a request to do so. When a document is stored in
SCORE, a black and white copy of the document is stored in IFW along with a
SCORE placeholder sheet.

   Sequence listings and computer program listings, as well as documents that
should not be entered initially (and must be filed in paper), such as trade
 September 27, 2011 US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE 1370 OG 213 

secret, proprietary and/or protective order materials, are other examples of
documents not stored in IFW, at least initially. Prior to the deployment of
SCORE, sequence listings and computer program listings were placed into
Artifact Folders with Artifact Sheets then scanned into IFW as placeholders.
Since the deployment of SCORE, the USPTO has been storing sequence and
computer program listings in SCORE as part of the official record. Documents
that should not be entered initially (and must be filed in paper) are
placed into Artifact Folders, and Artifact Sheets are then scanned into IFW
as placeholders. If it is later determined that they should be entered into
the official record, they are taken out of the Artifact Folders and scanned
into IFW.

   The USPTO stores in boxes the papers that it scans into IFW or SCORE.
Scanned papers are boxed and stored in the order that they are scanned. A
sample storage box of scanned documents may contain: newly received
applications; follow-on documents for previously submitted applications; and
USPTO communications for applications. It may also contain paper file wrappers
of applications filed prior to July 1, 2003, that for some reason, e.g.,
documents were filed that necessitated repeated viewing of the papers by one
or more USPTO employees, were scanned into IFW at the time the box was being
filled. Thus, while the image files of IFW are organized by application number
or reexamination control number, paper sources of the image files are not.
An application filed in paper in 2006 can be in one box, a follow-on document
filed in paper in 2007 for the application can be in a second box, a 2008
USPTO communication for the application can be in a third box, etc.

   To date, the USPTO has not disposed of any of the boxes of papers that it
has scanned into IFW or SCORE, even though the scanned papers are no longer
part of the official record. In total, the USPTO has accumulated approximately
235,700 boxes and stores them at a repository near Springfield, Virginia.

   By not disposing of the boxes, the papers have remained available for
comparison purposes in limited circumstances when issues arise concerning the
electronic records of the papers in IFW. However, the number of issues that
arise which actually require the USPTO to retrieve a box from storage has
steadily declined in the years since the USPTO started scanning. The USPTO
can identify two principal reasons for this declining trend: (1) Indexing
techniques and scanning quality have improved over the years; and (2) the
increased use of EFS-Web has led to a decrease in the amount of paper that is
filed, thus leading to a decrease in the amount of paper that is scanned (the
submission rate through EFS-Web has increased from 14% in 2006 to 90%
in 2010).

   In 2004, the USPTO scanned a total of 195,829,268 pages, and 17,363
issues arose which could have required the USPTO to retrieve a box from
storage. In 2010, the total number of pages scanned by the USPTO fell to
24,895,341, and only 1,581 issues arose which could have required the USPTO
to retrieve a box from storage. Furthermore, the USPTO was able to remedy
most of the 1,581 issues without actually retrieving a box. The 1,581 issues
that could have required the USPTO to retrieve a box from storage required
the retrieval of only 225 boxes.

   The 225 boxes which required retrieval from storage represent less than
0.10% of the USPTO's total of approximately 235,700 boxes. Furthermore, the
content of the papers in the box most often (116 out of the 225 boxes)
matched the content of the image files in IFW. Of the 225 boxes retrieved
from storage by the USPTO in 2010, only 109 were used to scan one or more
papers into IFW or SCORE or to create an Artifact Folder (impacting a total
of 87 patent applications). For 45 of the 109 boxes, papers were scanned into
SCORE or placed into Artifact Folders, usually because the papers were
inadvertently not scanned into SCORE or placed into Artifact Folders in the
first place. For 36 of the 109 boxes, papers were scanned into IFW because
IFW did not contain image files for one or more pages of the papers. For 21
of the 109 boxes, papers were re-scanned into IFW due to quality issues with
the initial image files in IFW. Under the assumption that there was one
scanned image problem for each of the 21 boxes, the image scanning quality
 September 27, 2011 US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE 1370 OG 214 

rate is 99.999916% ((24,895,341-21)/24,895,341), which exceeds Six Sigma
quality standards. Finally, 7 of the 109 boxes were retrieved to address
indexing errors for very large submissions.

   While the number of issues that arise which actually require the retrieval
of a box from storage has steadily declined, the cost of storing the boxes
is high and will only increase if the USPTO's past practice is left unchanged.
At present, the annual cost of storing and maintaining the boxes is
approximately $701,000. Thus, in 2010, the cost of correcting the 87 total
applications impacted by the 225 box retrievals exceeded $8,000 per
application. Additionally, the space currently used to store the boxes is
projected to reach its capacity by mid-year 2012. At that time, more
warehouse space will need to be acquired, further increasing the USPTO's
storage costs. The USPTO's past practice of indefinitely retaining the boxes
of papers that it scans into IFW or SCORE is therefore not cost-effective.

   Establishing a definite period of retention for papers scanned into
IFW or SCORE would address the cost-ineffectiveness of the USPTO's past
practice and yield other advantages. For example, it would further encourage
the use of EFS-Web. In addition, by providing paper filers with a definite
period during which they may review and determine the accuracy of the
electronic record and request any needed corrections, both the USPTO and the
public benefit from greater assurance that the official record in IFW is
correct.

   For the foregoing reasons, the USPTO is considering establishing a
one-year retention period for papers that have been scanned into IFW or
SCORE. Specifically, the USPTO is considering establishing a one-year
retention period that begins on: (1) September 1, 2011, for papers scanned
into IFW or SCORE prior to September 1, 2011; or (2) the paper's submission
date, for papers scanned into IFW or SCORE on or after September 1, 2011. A
one-year retention period would be consistent with the USPTO's currently
pending request to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA)
to transition from general records disposition authority GRS 20, item 2a(4)
to the new USPTO-specific records disposition authority N1-241-10-1, item
4.4. Papers that have not been scanned into IFW or SCORE, such as certain
papers placed into Artifact Folders, would not be subject to the one-year
retention period and would remain retrievable consistent with past
practice.

   The USPTO considers the one-year retention period proposed in this notice
to be preferable to shorter or longer retention periods. Retention periods of
less than one year would not adequately meet the USPTO's objective of giving
paper filers sufficient time to review their files and request corrections.
Retention periods of more than one year would not sufficiently meet the
USPTO's objectives of reducing storage costs and improving the quality of the
official record in IFW. The USPTO considers that a retention period of one
year would strike the best balance between these competing objectives.
Moreover, a one-year retention period would be consistent with the USPTO's
goal of reducing first action pendency to an average of 10 months by 2015.

   If the USPTO adopts the one-year retention period proposed in this notice,
the USPTO would dispose of the paper after the expiration of the one-year
retention period (after September 1, 2012, or later), unless within
sufficient time prior to disposal of the paper, the relevant patent applicant,
patent owner, or reexamination party files a bona fide request to correct the
electronic record of the paper in IFW or SCORE, and the request remains
outstanding at the time the paper would have been scheduled for disposal.
Filers of requests to correct the electronic record would be strongly advised
to file their requests by EFS-Web using the document description "Electronic
Record Correction" at least one month prior to the expiration of the one-year
retention period to allow sufficient time to process the request. Requests
that are not filed at least one month prior to the expiration of the one-year
retention period may not be acted upon in time.

   If the USPTO adopts the one-year retention period proposed in this notice,
 September 27, 2011 US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE 1370 OG 215 

a patent applicant, patent owner, or reexamination party who, during the
one-year retention period, is considering filing a request to correct the
electronic record of a paper, and who believes that the evidence establishes
that the need for correction was caused by the USPTO, would be advised to
consider whether the initial submission date of the paper needs to be secured
for the information being corrected. Such situations could involve (1) Adding
information that would not otherwise be supported by the original
specification, (2) avoiding a reduction in patent term adjustment, or (3)
avoiding an impact on the timeliness of an information disclosure statement
under 37 CFR 1.97. If the initial submission date of the paper does not need
to be secured for the information being corrected, the patent applicant,
patent owner, or reexamination party should simply submit a corrective
replacement document and accept the date of such submission for the
corrective replacement document. If, however, the initial submission date of
the paper needs to be secured for the information being corrected, a request
for correction based on the initially submitted paper should be filed as
a petition under 37 CFR 1.181. The request should specifically point out the
error(s) in the electronic record of the paper in IFW or SCORE and be
accompanied by a replacement copy of the paper, along with (1) Any evidence
to establish (a) that the need for correction was caused by the USPTO, and
(b) the proper submission date of the original paper, and (2) a statement
that the replacement copy is a true copy of what was originally filed.

   When making a decision on the request, the USPTO's presumption would be
that the electronic record of the paper in IFW or SCORE is accurate and
correction is not merited. The USPTO would check to see whether it has the
paper at issue. If the USPTO has the paper, the USPTO's version of the paper
would either support the request for correction, in which case the request
would be granted, or the USPTO's version of the paper would not support the
request, in which case the request would be dismissed.

   On the other hand, if the USPTO does not have the paper, e.g., the paper
has been lost, the presumption that the electronic record of the paper in IFW
or SCORE is correct could be rebutted where the evidence submitted with the
request is sufficient to overcome the presumption. A postcard receipt which
itemizes and properly identifies the items that serve as prima facie evidence
of receipt in the USPTO of all the items listed thereon on the date stamped
thereon by the USPTO. However, while a postcard receipt may be the only
evidence needed for the USPTO to accept, for example, the missing tenth page
of a 10-page document that has been properly identified on the postcard as a
10-page document, the postcard receipt may be insufficient, on its own, for
the USPTO to accept a replacement tenth page of a properly identified 10-page
document, where all 10 pages were actually received by the USPTO and, for
example, a sentence is missing on one page or a chemical structure is thought
to have been changed.

   Any decision dismissing a request to correct the electronic record would
provide a two-month period to file a request for reconsideration of the
decision, in accordance with 37 CFR 1.181(f).

   The USPTO would not dispose of a paper for which, within sufficient time
prior to disposal of the paper, a bona fide request to correct the
electronic record of the paper has been filed and remains outstanding at the
time the paper would have been scheduled for disposal. A request would be a
bona fide request when it specifically points out the error(s) in the paper
and is accompanied by any necessary evidence. A general allegation that a
paper requires correction filed without evidentiary support would not be a
bona fide request. It would be inadequate to stay the disposal of the paper
and would be dismissed. Once filed, a bona fide request to correct the
electronic record would remain outstanding unless the USPTO has either
(1) Issued a decision granting either the original request or a request for
reconsideration of the original request, or (2) issued a final agency decision
denying a request for reconsideration of the original request.

   If the USPTO adopts the one-year retention period proposed in this notice,
a patent applicant, patent owner, or reexamination party who is considering
 September 27, 2011 US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE 1370 OG 216 

filing a request to correct the electronic record of a paper, but who cannot
establish that the need for correction was caused by the USPTO, would be
advised to not file the request. Other options for relief may be available
when it cannot be established that the need for correction was caused by the
USPTO. For example, an amendment under 37 CFR 1.57(a) may be filed to address
the problem of an application filed with inadvertently omitted material when
the application contains a claim under 37 CFR 1.55 for priority of a prior-
filed foreign application, or a claim under 37 CFR 1.78 for the benefit of a
prior-filed provisional, nonprovisional, or international application. See
MPEP § 201.17. As another example, an amendment may be filed to correct an
obvious error, along with any evidence, such as an expert declaration,
necessary to establish that one of ordinary skill in the art would recognize
both the existence of the error and the appropriate correction. See MPEP
§ 2163.07, II.

   If the USPTO adopts the one-year retention period proposed in this notice,
a patent applicant, patent owner, or reexamination party may file a request to
correct the electronic record of a paper after the one-year retention period,
if the evidence is believed to establish that the need for correction was
caused by the USPTO, and the initial submission date of the paper needs to be
secured for the information being corrected. The USPTO likely would have
disposed of any paper for which a request to correct the electronic record is
filed after the one-year retention period. Therefore, the typical request for
correction filed after the one-year retention period would have to overcome
the presumption that the electronic record of the paper in IFW or SCORE is
accurate and correction is not merited. For certain instances, e.g., when a
paper was inadvertently not scanned into SCORE or placed into an Artifact
Folder, there would be a black and white image of the paper in IFW that could
be used to corroborate any submitted evidence.

   The proposed procedure set forth in this notice for filing a request to
correct the electronic record of a paper that has been scanned into IFW or
SCORE would not be a replacement for the USPTO's papers into IFW or SCORE or
to create an Artifact Folder (impacting a total of 87 patent applications).
For 45 of the 109 boxes, papers were scanned into SCORE or placed into
Artifact Folders, usually because the papers were inadvertently not scanned
into SCORE or placed into Artifact Folders in the first place. For 36 of the
109 boxes, papers were scanned into IFW because IFW did not contain image
files for one or more pages of the papers. For 21 of the 109 boxes, papers
were re-scanned into IFW due to quality issues with the initial image files
in IFW. Under the assumption that there was one scanned image problem for
each of the 21 boxes, the image scanning quality rate is 99.999916%
((24,895,341-21)/24,895,341), which exceeds Six Sigma quality standards.
Finally, 7 of the 109 boxes were retrieved to address indexing errors for
very large submissions.

   While the number of issues that arise which actually require the retrieval
of a box from storage has steadily declined, the cost of storing the boxes is
high and will only increase if the USPTO's past practice is left unchanged.
At present, the annual cost of storing and maintaining the boxes is
approximately $701,000. Thus, in 2010, the cost of correcting the 87 total
applications impacted by the 225 box retrievals exceeded $8,000 per
application. Additionally, the space currently used to store the boxes is
projected to reach its capacity by mid-year 2012. At that time, more warehouse
space will need to be acquired, further increasing the USPTO's storage costs.
The USPTO's past practice of indefinitely retaining the boxes of papers that
it scans into IFW or SCORE is therefore not cost-effective.

   Establishing a definite period of retention for papers scanned into
IFW or SCORE would address the cost-ineffectiveness of the USPTO's past

the use of EFS-Web. In addition, by providing paper filers with a definite

public benefit from greater assurance that the official record in IFW is
correct.

   The USPTO considers the one-year retention period proposed in this
notice to be preferable to shorter or longer retention periods. Retention
periods of less than one year would not adequately meet the USPTO's objective
of giving paper filers sufficient time to review their files and request
corrections. Retention periods of more than one year would not sufficiently
meet the USPTO's objectives of reducing storage costs and improving the
quality of the official record in IFW. The USPTO considers that a retention
period of one year would strike the best balance between these competing
objectives. Moreover, a one-year retention period would be consistent with
the USPTO's goal of reducing first action pendency to an average of 10 months
by 2015.

   If the USPTO adopts the one-year retention period proposed in this
notice, the USPTO would dispose of the paper after the expiration of the
one-year retention period (after September 1, 2012, or later), unless within
sufficient time prior to disposal of the paper, the relevant patent applicant,
patent owner, or reexamination party files a bona fide request to correct
the electronic record of the paper in IFW or SCORE, and the request remains
outstanding at the time the paper would have been scheduled for disposal.
Filers of requests to correct the electronic record would be strongly advised
to file their requests by EFS-Web using the document description "Electronic
Record Correction" at least one month prior to the expiration of the one-year
retention period to allow sufficient time to process the request. Requests
that are not filed at least one month prior to the expiration of the one-year
retention period may not be acted upon in time.

   If the USPTO adopts the one-year retention period proposed in this
notice, a patent applicant, patent owner, or reexamination party who, during
the one-year retention period, is considering filing a request to correct
the electronic record of a paper, and who believes that the evidence
establishes that the need for correction was caused by the USPTO, would be
advised to consider whether the initial submission date of the paper needs to
be secured for the information being corrected. Such situations could involve
(1) Adding information that would not otherwise be supported by the original
specification, (2) avoiding a reduction in patent term adjustment, or
(3) avoiding an impact on the timeliness of an information disclosure
statement under 37 CFR 1.97. If the initial submission date of the paper does
not need to be secured for the information being corrected, the patent
applicant, patent owner, or reexamination party should simply submit a
corrective replacement document and accept the date of such submission for
the corrective replacement document. If, however, the initial submission
date of the paper needs to be secured for the information being corrected,
a request for correction based on the initially submitted paper should be
filed as a petition under 37 CFR 1.181. The request should specifically point
out the error(s) in the electronic record of the paper in IFW or SCORE and be
accompanied by a replacement copy of the paper, along with (1) Any evidence
to establish (a) that the need for correction was caused by the USPTO, and
(b) the proper submission date of the original paper, and (2) a statement
that the replacement copy is a true copy of what was originally filed.

   When making a decision on the request, the USPTO's presumption would be
 September 27, 2011 US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE 1370 OG 218 

that the electronic record of the paper in IFW or SCORE is accurate and
correction is not merited. The USPTO would check to see whether it has the
paper at issue. If the USPTO has the paper, the USPTO's version of the paper
would either support the request for correction, in which case the request
would be granted, or the USPTO's version of the paper would not support the
request, in which case the request would be dismissed.

    On the other hand, if the USPTO does not have the paper, e.g., the paper
has been lost, the presumption that the electronic record of the paper in IFW
or SCORE is correct could be rebutted where the evidence submitted with the
request is sufficient to overcome the presumption. A postcard receipt which
itemizes and properly identifies the items that have been filed would serve
as prima facie evidence of receipt in the USPTO of all the items listed
thereon on the date stamped thereon by the USPTO. However, while a postcard
receipt may be the only evidence needed for the USPTO to accept, for example,
the missing tenth page of a 10-page document that has been properly identified
on the postcard as a 10-page document, the postcard receipt may be
insufficient, on its own, for the USPTO to accept a replacement tenth page of
a properly identified 10-page document, where all 10 pages were actually
received by the USPTO and, for example, a sentence is missing on one page or a
chemical structure is thought to have been changed.

   Any decision dismissing a request to correct the electronic record would
provide a two-month period to file a request for reconsideration of the
decision, in accordance with 37 CFR 1.181(f).

   The USPTO would not dispose of a paper for which, within sufficient time
prior to disposal of the paper, a bona fide request to correct the electronic
record of the paper has been filed and remains outstanding at the time the
paper would have been scheduled for disposal. A request would be a bona fide
request when it specifically points out the error(s) in the paper and is
accompanied by any necessary evidence. A general allegation that a paper
requires correction filed without evidentiary support would not be a bona fide
request. It would be inadequate to stay the disposal of the paper and would be
dismissed. Once filed, a bona fide request to correct the electronic record
would remain outstanding unless the USPTO has either (1) Issued a decision
granting either the original request or a request for reconsideration of the
original request, or (2) issued a final agency decision denying a request for
reconsideration of the original request.

   If the USPTO adopts the one-year retention period proposed in this notice,
a patent applicant, patent owner, or reexamination party who is considering
filing a request to correct the electronic record of a paper, but who cannot
establish that the need for correction was caused by the USPTO, would be
advised to not file the request. Other options for relief may be available
when it cannot be established that the need for correction was caused by the
USPTO. For example, an amendment under 37 CFR 1.57(a) may be filed to address
the problem of an application filed with inadvertently omitted material when
the application contains a claim under 37 CFR 1.55 for priority of a prior-
filed foreign application, or a claim under 37 CFR 1.78 for the benefit of a
prior-filed provisional, nonprovisional, or international application. See
MPEP § 201.17. As another example, an amendment may be filed to correct an
obvious error, along with any evidence, such as an expert declaration,
necessary to establish that one of ordinary skill in the art would recognize
both the existence of the error and the appropriate correction. See MPEP
§ 2163.07, II.

   If the USPTO adopts the one-year retention period proposed in this notice,
a patent applicant, patent owner, or reexamination party may file a request
to correct the electronic record of a paper after the one-year retention
period, if the evidence is believed to establish that the need for correction
was caused by the USPTO, and the initial submission date of the paper needs
to be secured for the information being corrected. The USPTO likely would
have disposed of any paper for which a request to correct the electronic
record is filed after the one-year retention period. Therefore, the typical
request for correction filed after the one-year retention period would have
 September 27, 2011 US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE 1370 OG 219 

to overcome the presumption that the electronic record of the paper in IFW
or SCORE is accurate and correction is not merited. For certain instances,
e.g., when a paper was inadvertently not scanned into SCORE or placed into an
Artifact Folder, there would be a black and white image of the paper in IFW
that could be used to corroborate any submitted evidence.

   The proposed procedure set forth in this notice for filing a request to
correct the electronic record of a paper that has been scanned into IFW or
SCORE would not be a replacement for the USPTO's established procedure for
responding to a notice (e.g., a "Notice of Omitted Item(s) in a Nonprovisional
Application") from the Office of Patent Application Processing (OPAP)
indicating that the application papers have been accorded a filing date, but
are lacking some page(s) of the specification or some of the figures of
drawings described in the specification. Applicants would continue to follow
the procedure set forth at Change in Procedure for Handling Nonprovisional
Applications Having Omitted Items, 1315 Off. Gaz. Pat. Office 103 (February
20, 2007), when responding to such a notice from OPAP.

   In addition, the proposed procedure set forth in this notice for filing a
request to correct the electronic record of a paper that has been scanned into
IFW or SCORE would be generally applicable only to situations in which a
certain document, or one or more pages of a certain document, contains an
error caused by the USPTO that requires correction. The proposed procedure
set forth in this notice would not be a replacement for the USPTO's file
reconstruction procedures (37 CFR 1.251 and MPEP § 508.04). Paper sources for
the image files in IFW are boxed in the order that they are scanned, rather
than by application number or reexamination control number, such that a
request to correct requiring the retrieval of papers from multiple boxes could
not be reasonably effected.
