abandonment of the application; or (5)
the filing of a Notice of Appeal. The
final disposition of an application,
however, may occur later than the 12month time frame in certain situations
(e.g., when the applicant filed a petition
under 37 CFR 1.181). In any event,
however, the 12-month time frame is a
goal. Any failure to meet the 12-month
goal, or other issues related to this goal
that arise, are neither petitionable nor
appealable matters.
Applicants may shorten the overall
pendency of an application in the pilot
program by replying to Office actions
and notices earlier than required by the
USPTO. For example, the USPTO will
endeavor to reduce pendency, from
approval of the request for prioritized
examination to final disposition, to six
months if all replies occur within 30
days of a notice by the USPTO. This
goal depends on additional factors,
including the demands placed on
specific examiners by multiple copending applications under the pilot
program. Current statistics for
prioritized examination are available at

This passenger data is collected only
on an as-needed basis when the
passengers request the Space A travel,
and is collected only at the Air

respondents and does not in any way
solicit their participation. There are no
paper forms for information requests
sent to the travelers for them to return.
The sole purpose of this data is to
provide a complete manifest of the
passengers onboard the military flight. It
is not used for any other reporting or
statistical purposes.
