Changes to Practice for Continued
Examination Filings, Patent
Applications Containing Patentably
Indistinct Claims, and Examination of
Claims in Patent Applications
AGENCY: United States Patent and
Trademark Office, Commerce.
ACTION: Final rule.
SUMMARY: The United States Patent and
Trademark Office (Office) published a
final rule in the Federal Register in
August of 2007 to revise the rules of
practice for patent cases pertaining to
continuing applications and requests for
continued examination practices, and
for the examination of claims in patent
applications (Claims and Continuations
PO 00000
Frm 00022
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
Final Rule). The Office is revising the
rules of practice in this final rule to
remove the changes in the Claims and
Continuations Final Rule from the Code
of Federal Regulations.
DATES: Effective Date: October 14, 2009.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Robert W. Bahr, Senior Patent Counsel,
Office of the Deputy Commissioner for
Patent Examination Policy, by telephone
at (571) 272–8800; or by mail addressed
to: Mail Stop Comments Patents,
Commissioner for Patents, P.O. Box
1450, Alexandria, VA 22313–1450.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Office
published the Claims and Continuations
Final Rule in the Federal Register in
August of 2007, which revised the rules
of practice in title 37 of the Code of
Federal Regulations for patent cases
pertaining to continuing applications
and requests for continued examination
practices, and for the examination of
claims in patent applications. See
Changes to Practice for Continued
Examination Filings, Patent
Applications Containing Patentably
Indistinct Claims, and Examination of
Claims in Patent Applications, 72 FR
46716 (Aug. 21, 2007), 1322 Off. Gaz.
Pat. Office 76 (Sept. 11, 2007). The
United States District Court for the
Eastern District of Virginia (District
Court) issued an injunction, enjoining
the Office from implementing the
changes in the Claims and
Continuations Final Rule. See Tafas v.
Dudas, 541 F. Supp. 2d 805, 86
U.S.P.Q.2d 1623 (E.D. Va. 2008)
(permanent injunction), and Tafas v.
Dudas, 511 F. Supp. 2d 652, 86
U.S.P.Q.2d 1548 (E.D. Va. 2007)
(preliminary injunction). The Office
appealed this decision to the United
States Court of Appeals for the Federal
Circuit (Federal Circuit). The Federal
Circuit issued a panel decision holding
that all of the changes in the Claims and
Continuations Final Rule fall within the
Office’s rule making authority to govern
the conduct of proceedings before the
Office, but that the provisions
pertaining to continuing applications
were inconsistent with 35 U.S.C. 120.
See Tafas v. Doll, 559 F.3d 1345, 90
U.S.P.Q.2d 1129 (Fed. Cir. 2009). The
Federal Circuit en banc then issued an
order granting a petition for rehearing
en banc and vacating the panel
decision. See Tafas v. Doll, 2009 U.S.
App. LEXIS 14611, 91 U.S.P.Q. 2d 1153
(Fed. Cir., July 6, 2009).
The changes in the Claims and
Continuations Final Rule were added to
the Code of Federal Regulations, but
have been the subject of litigation since
August of 2007 and have never taken
effect. See Clarification of Patent
