B. Petition Dismissal by the USPTO: If
the applicant files an incomplete Form
PTO/SB/437, or if an application
accompanied by Form PTO/SB/437 does
not comply with the requirements set
forth in this notice, the USPTO will
notify the applicant of the deficiencies
by dismissing the petition, and the
applicant will be given a single
opportunity to correct the deficiencies.
If the applicant still wishes to
participate in the pilot program, the
applicant must make appropriate
corrections within 1 month or 30 days
of the mailing date of the dismissal
decision, whichever is longer. The time
period for reply is not extendable under
37 CFR 1.136(a). If the applicant timely
files a response to the dismissal
decision correcting all the noted
deficiencies without introducing any
new deficiencies, the USPTO will grant
the petition if a grantable request has
been filed in a corresponding
counterpart application. If the applicant
fails to correct the noted deficiencies
within the time period set forth, the
USPTO may dismiss the petition and
notify the designated partner IP
office(s). The U.S. application will then
be taken up for examination in
accordance with standard examination
procedures, unless designated special in
accordance with another established
procedure (e.g., Request for Prioritized
Examination, Petition to Make Special
Based on Applicant’s Age).
C. Withdrawal of a Petition: An
application can be withdrawn from the
pilot program only by filing a request to
withdraw the petition to participate in
the pilot program prior to the issuance
of a decision granting the petition. Once
the petition for participation in the pilot
program has been granted, withdrawal
from the pilot program is not permitted.
V. Requirement for Restriction
The claims must be directed to a
single invention. If the examiner
determines that not all the claims
presented are directed to a single
invention, the telephone restriction
practice set forth in MPEP sec. 812.01
will be followed. The applicant must
make an election without traverse
during the telephonic interview. If the
applicant refuses to make an election
without traverse, or if the examiner
cannot reach the applicant after a
reasonable effort (i.e., three business
days), the examiner will treat the first
claimed invention (the group of claim 1)
as constructively elected without
traverse for examination and include a
basis for the restriction or lack of unity
requirement in the FAOM. When a
telephonic election is made, the
examiner will provide a complete

record of the telephonic interview,
including the restriction or lack of unity
requirement and the applicant’s
election, in the FAOM. Applicants are
strongly encouraged to ensure that
applications submitted for the
Expanded CSP are written in such a way
that they claim a single, independent,
and distinct invention. The applicant is
responsible for ensuring that the same
invention is elected in both the United
States and all corresponding counterpart
applications for concurrent treatment in
the Expanded CSP.
VI. First Action on the Merits (FAOM)
During examination, the USPTO
examiner will consider all exchanged
search results and all references
submitted by the applicant in
accordance with 37 CFR 1.97 and 1.98.
Search results that are not received by
the USPTO within four months from the
date the petition was granted may not be
included in the FAOM. The examiner
will prepare and issue an Office action
and notify the applicant if any
designated partner IP office did not
provide search results prior to the
issuance of the Office action. Once an
FAOM issues, the application will no
longer be treated as special under the
Expanded CSP.
