national stage entry; (3) the application
or national stage entry was not filed
electronically in Patent Center; (4) the
application is not an original (nonreissue), nonprovisional utility
application filed under 35 U.S.C. 111(a),
or an international application that has
entered the national stage under 35
U.S.C. 371; (5) the application was
previously granted special status; (6) the
application does not contain at least one
method claim that complies with the
eligibility requirements set forth in
section V of this notice; or (7) the
application pertains to a medical device
adapted to detect or treat a cancer and
discloses a use for the medical device
that is not related to the treatment or
detection of a cancer.
VII. Requirement for Restriction or
Unity of Invention
If the claims in the application are
directed to multiple inventions, the
examiner may make a requirement for
restriction or unity of invention in
accordance with current restriction
practice. If such a requirement is made,
the applicant must make an election
without traverse to an invention that
meets the eligibility requirements of this
program.
If the applicant elects the product or
apparatus, claims to the qualifying
method will be withdrawn but must
remain pending and depend from or be
commensurate in scope with the
examined product or apparatus claims
(that is, the qualifying method claims
must contain all of the limitations of the
examined product or apparatus claims).
Any reply to an Office action that
cancels all of the method claims that
meet the eligibility requirements for the
pilot program or does not present
eligible method claims that are
commensurate in scope with or depend
from the product or apparatus claims
under examination will be treated as not
fully responsive. The petition must
include a statement that if the applicant
elects a product or an apparatus for
examination, the applicant agrees to
present eligible method claims that are
commensurate in scope with or depend
from the claims to the elected product
or apparatus throughout the pendency
of the application.
Where the applicant elects claims
directed to an eligible product or
apparatus, and all product or apparatus
claims are subsequently found
allowable, withdrawn eligible method
claims that include all the limitations of
the allowable product or apparatus
claims will be considered for rejoinder
in accordance with sections 806.05 et
seq. and 821.04 et seq. of the MPEP. In
the event of rejoinder, the requirement
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:50 Dec 08, 2022
Jkt 259001
for restriction between the product or
apparatus claims and the rejoined
method claims will be withdrawn, and
the rejoined method claims will be fully
examined for patentability in
accordance with 37 CFR 1.104.
VIII. Period for Reply by the Applicant
The time periods set for reply in
Office actions for an application granted
special status under the pilot program
will be the same as those set forth in
section 710.02(b) of the MPEP.
IX. Replies by the Applicant Under the
Pilot Program
Throughout the pendency of an
application granted special status under
the pilot program, the applicant’s
replies to Office actions must be fully
responsive to the rejections, objections,
and requirements made by the
examiner. Any amendment filed in
reply to an Office action may be treated
as not fully responsive if it attempts to:
(1) add claims that would result in more
than 3 independent claims or more than
20 total claims pending in the
application; (2) add any multiple
dependent claim(s); (3) cancel all
method claims that meet the eligibility
requirements of the pilot program; or (4)
cancel all claims to the elected
invention. The amendment may also be
treated as not fully responsive if it does
not present eligible method claims that
are commensurate in scope with or
depend from the claims to the elected
product or apparatus. If a reply to a nonfinal Office action is not fully
responsive for the reasons set forth
above but is a bona fide attempt to
advance the application to final action,
the examiner may, at their discretion,
issue a notice of nonresponsive
amendment and provide a shortened
statutory period of two months for the
applicant to supply a fully responsive
reply. Extensions of this time period
under 37 CFR 1.136(a) to the notice of
nonresponsive amendment will be
permitted, but in no case can any
extension carry the date for reply to this
notice beyond the maximum period of
six months set by statute (35 U.S.C.
133). However, any further
nonresponsive amendment typically
will not be treated as bona fide;
therefore, the time period set in the
prior notice will continue to run.
X. After-Final and Appeal Procedures
Any amendment, affidavit, or other
evidence after a final Office action and
prior to appeal must comply with 37
CFR 1.116. During the appeal process,
the application will be treated in
accordance with the normal appeal
procedure (see MPEP Chapter 1200).

XI. Withdrawal From the Pilot Program
There is no provision for withdrawal
from the pilot program. The applicant
may abandon an application that has
been granted special status under the
pilot program in favor of a continuing
application. However, a continuing
application will not automatically be
granted special status based on the
petition filed in the parent application.
Each application (including each
continuing application) must, on its
own, meet all requirements for special
status under the pilot program, and be
accompanied by its own petition as
detailed in section IV above.

Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual
Property and Director of the United States
Patent and Trademark Office.
