Extension of the Patent Application
Backlog Reduction Stimulus Plan
United States Patent and
Trademark Office, Commerce.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The United States Patent and
Trademark Office (USPTO) provides a
basis (the Patent Application Backlog
Reduction Stimulus Plan) under which
an 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
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 the
Patent Application Backlog Reduction
Stimulus Plan until December 31, 2011.

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 Plan, 74 FR 62285 (Nov. 27,
2009), 1349 Off. Gaz. Pat. Off. 304 (Dec.
22, 2009) (notice). The Patent
Application Backlog Reduction
Stimulus Plan allowed 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
plan 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 Plan, 74 FR at
62287, 1349 Off. Gaz. Pat. Off. at 306.
The USPTO extended the plan for an
additional four months to June 30, 2010.
See Extension of the Patent Application
Backlog Reduction Stimulus Plan, 75 FR
5041 (February 1, 2010), 1351 Off. Gaz.
Pat. Off. 202 (February 23, 2010).
Subsequently, the USPTO expanded the
plan to eliminate the small entity
requirement and further extended its
duration to expire at the earlier of the
December 31, 2010 date, or the date that
10,000 applications have been accorded
special status under this plan. See
Expansion and Extension of the Patent
Application Backlog Reduction
Stimulus Plan, 75 FR 36063 (June 24,
2010), 1356 Off. Gaz. Pat. Off. 173 (July
20, 2010).
The USPTO is extending the Patent
Application Backlog Reduction
Stimulus Plan until December 31, 2011.
Accordingly, the Patent Application
Backlog Reduction Stimulus Plan will
run until 10,000 petitions have been
PO 00000

granted or until December 31, 2011,
whichever occurs earlier. The USPTO
may further extend this plan (on either
a temporary or permanent basis), or may
also discontinue the plan after
December 31, 2011, if 10,000 petitions
have not been granted, depending upon
the results of the plan. Information
concerning the number of petitions that
have been filed and granted under the
Patent Application Backlog Reduction
Stimulus Plan is available on the
USPTO’s Internet Web site at https://

under 37 CFR 1.102 to be granted under
the procedure for the Patent Application
Backlog Reduction Stimulus Plan, the
petition under 37 CFR 1.102 and the
letter of express abandonment and its
accompanying statement must be filed
on or before December 31, 2011 (unless
the Patent Application Backlog
Reduction Stimulus Plan is extended by
a subsequent notice).
