Box 1450, Alexandria, VA 22313–1450, marked to the attention of Kenneth M. Schor; by facsimile transmission to (571) 273–7710 marked to the attention of Kenneth M. Schor; or by electronic mail message over the Internet addressed to kenneth.schor@uspto.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Office is revising the rules of practice in title 37 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) to require that a request for ex parte reexamination or for inter partes reexamination must meet all the applicable statutory requirements in 35 U.S.C. 302 or 311 before a filing date is accorded to the request for ex parte reexamination or for inter partes reexamination. Thus, the Office is amending the rules to clearly require compliance with all the requirements of filing an ex parte reexamination request (set forth in 37 CFR 1.510(b)) before a filing date will be assigned to an ex parte reexamination request, and to clearly require compliance with all the requirements of filing an inter partes reexamination request (set forth in 37 CFR 1.915(b)) before a filing date will be assigned to an inter partes reexamination request. Section 1.510 sets forth the requirements for the content of a request for ex parte reexamination. Section 1.915 sets forth the requirements for the content of a request for inter partes reexamination. Former § 1.510(d) states that the filing date of a request for ex parte reexamination is ‘‘(1) The date on which the request including the entire fee for requesting reexamination is received in the Patent and Trademark Office; or (2) The date on which the last portion of the fee for requesting reexamination is received’’ (emphasis added). In like manner, former § 1.919(a) states that ‘‘[t]he filing date of a request for inter partes reexamination is the date on which the request satisfies the fee requirement of § 1.915(a)’’ (emphasis added). Given the former rule language, it may have appeared that compliance with the provisions of § 1.510(b) or E:\FR\FM\23FER1.SGM 23FER1
