Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request, 20345-20346 [2019-09505]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 90 / Thursday, May 9, 2019 / Notices jbell on DSK3GLQ082PROD with NOTICES application 2 may raise the issue in a timely request for reconsideration of the patent term adjustment under 37 CFR 1.705(b). The request for reconsideration must provide any relevant information, including factual support, which is not recorded in the USPTO’s PALM system to show that there was no identifiable effort the patentee could have undertaken to conclude prosecution of the underlying application during a portion of the period provided for in 37 CFR 1.704(c)(8) (or any of the periods set forth in 37 CFR 1.704(c)). For example, in a situation analogous to Supernus, the request for reconsideration must include the facts concerning how and when each of the documents contained in the information disclosure statement at issue were first cited by the USPTO or a foreign patent authority in a related or counterpart application. See 37 CFR 1.705(b)(2)((iv) (stating that a request for reconsideration must be accompanied by a statement of the facts involved, specifying ‘‘[a]ny circumstances during the prosecution of the application resulting in the patent that constitute a failure to engage in reasonable efforts to conclude processing or examination of such application as set forth in [37 CFR] 1.704’’). The USPTO’s decision on any timely filed patentee request for reconsideration will apply the Federal Circuit’s decision in Supernus in view of the information presented by the patentee. While the USPTO has adopted ad hoc procedures for seeking reconsideration of the patent term adjustment determination in the past when there have been changes to the interpretation of the provisions of 35 U.S.C. 154(b) as a result of court decisions, these ad hoc procedures were adopted because former 35 U.S.C. 154(b)(4) provided a time period for seeking judicial review that was not related to the filing of a request for reconsideration of the USPTO’s patent term adjustment 2 An argument presenting a justification for a failure to engage in reasonable efforts to conclude prosecution is distinct from an argument that there is no identifiable effort a patentee could have undertaken to conclude prosecution. 35 U.S.C. 154(b)(3)(C) provides for reinstatement of ‘‘all or part of the cumulative period of time of an adjustment under [35 U.S.C. 154(b)(2)(C)(ii)] if the applicant, prior to the issuance of the patent, makes a showing that, in spite of all due care, the applicant was unable to respond within the 3month period’’ and is distinct from an argument that there is no identifiable effort a patentee could have undertaken to conclude prosecution. Any request for reinstatement of ‘‘all or part of the cumulative period of time of an adjustment under [35 U.S.C. 154(b)(2)(C)(ii)]’’ on the basis of ‘‘a showing that, in spite of all due care, the applicant was unable to respond within the 3-month period’’ must comply with the requirements of 35 U.S.C. 154(b)(3)(C) and 37 CFR 1.705(c). VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:39 May 08, 2019 Jkt 247001 determination or the date of the USPTO’s decision on any request for reconsideration of the USPTO’s patent term adjustment determination. See 79 FR at 27759. As 37 CFR 1.705 now provides that its two-month time period may be extended under the provisions of 37 CFR 1.136(a) (permitting an applicant to request reconsideration of the patent term adjustment indicated on the patent as late as seven months after the date the patent was granted), the USPTO is not adopting an ad hoc procedure for requesting a patent term adjustment recalculation specifically directed to the Federal Circuit decision in Supernus.
