Patent and Trademark Office
The United States Patent and
Trademark Office (Office) requested
comments on a proposal to provide
applicants with greater control over
when their utility and plant
applications are examined and to
promote greater efficiency in the patent
examination process (3-Track). The
Office, in addition to requesting written
comments, conducted a public meeting
to collect input, and has subsequently
considered the wide range of comments
received. The Office is in the process of
refining the 3-Track proposal in light of
the input. While that process continues,
and in light of the fact that the vast
majority of public input was supportive
of the Track I portion of the 3-Track
proposal, the Office proposes by this
Notice to proceed with immediate
implementation of the Prioritized
Examination Track (Track I), providing
fast examination for applicants desiring
it, upon payment of the applicable fee
and compliance with the additional
requirements as described below.
DATES: Comment Deadline Date: Written
comments must be received on or before
March 7, 2011. No public hearing will
be held.

notice should be sent by electronic mail

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In June
2010, the Office requested comments
from the public on a proposal to provide
applicants with greater control over
when their original utility or plant
applications are examined and promote
work sharing between intellectual
property offices. See Enhanced
Examination Timing Control Initiative;
Notice of Public Meeting, 75 FR 31763
(June 4, 2010), 1355 Off. Gaz. Pat. Office
323 (June 29, 2010) Specifically, the
Office proposed to adopt procedures
under which an applicant would be able
to: (1) Request prioritized examination
of an original utility or plant
nonprovisional application (Track I); (2)
request a delay in docketing the
application for examination by filing a
request for delay in payment of the
search fee, the examination fee, the
claims fees and the surcharge (if
appropriate) for a maximum period not
to exceed thirty months in an original
utility or plant application filed under
35 U.S.C. 111(a) (Track III); or (3) obtain
processing under the current
examination procedure (Track II) by not
requesting either Track I or Track III
processing.
The Office is proposing to amend the
rules of practice to implement the
proposal to provide applicants with the
option to request prioritized
examination at the time of filing of an
application upon payment of the
appropriate fees (Track I). The Office is
limiting requests for prioritized
examination under 37 CFR 1.102(e) to a
maximum of 10,000 applications for the
first year. The Office will revisit this
