Download as PDF 17538 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 77 / Friday, April 20, 2018 / Notices applicant’s challenge to official notice are discussed in MPEP § 2144.03. B. Evaluating Applicant’s Response: If an applicant challenges the examiner’s position that the additional element(s) is well-understood, routine, conventional activity, the examiner should reevaluate whether it is readily apparent that the additional elements are in actuality well-understood, routine, conventional activities to those who work in the relevant field. If the examiner has taken official notice per paragraph (4) of section (III)(A) above that an element(s) is well-understood, routine, conventional activity, and the applicant challenges the examiner’s position, specifically stating that such element(s) is not well-understood, routine, conventional activity, the examiner must then provide one of the items discussed in paragraphs (1) through (3) of section (III)(A) above, or an affidavit or declaration under 37 CFR 1.104(d)(2) setting forth specific factual statements and explanation to support his or her position. As discussed previously, to represent well-understood, routine, conventional activity, the additional elements must be widely prevalent or in common use in the relevant field, comparable to the types of activity or elements that are so well-known that they do not need to be described in detail in a patent application to satisfy 35 U.S.C. 112(a). The MPEP will be updated in due course to incorporate the changes put into effect the Berkheimer memorandum. As discussed previously, the Berkheimer memorandum is available to the public on the USPTO’s internet website. The USPTO is seeking public comment on its subject matter eligibility guidance, and particularly its guidance in the Berkheimer memorandum. Dated: April 18, 2018.
