Download as PDF lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 230 / Friday, December 1, 2023 / Notices Part II. Internal Processing of the Petition Under the Pilot Program If the applicant files a petition to make special under the pilot program, the USPTO will not render a decision on the petition until the application has completed pre-examination processing. Any inquiries concerning a particular petition to make special should be directed to the appropriate Technology Center handling the petition. If the petition is granted, the application will be accorded special status under the pilot program. The application will be placed on an examiner’s special docket until a first Office action is issued. After the first Office action, the application will no longer be treated as special during examination. For example, if an amendment is filed in response to a first Office action, it will be placed on the examiner’s regular amended docket. If the petition to make special under the pilot program does not comply with the requirements set forth in this notice, the USPTO may notify the applicant of the deficiency by issuing a notice. The notice will give the applicant only one opportunity to correct the deficiency. If the applicant still wishes to participate in the pilot program, the applicant must file a reply via Patent Center that includes appropriate corrections and a properly signed petition form PTO/SB/ 467 within one month or 30 days, whichever is longer, from the mail/ notification date of the notice informing the applicant of the deficiency. The time period for reply is not extendable under 37 CFR 1.136(a). If the applicant fails to correct the deficiency indicated in the notice within the time period set, the application will not be accepted into the pilot program and will be taken up for examination in accordance with standard examination procedures. In addition, the petition will be dismissed without an opportunity for correction if any of the following deficiencies exists: (1) the application does not contain a claim that meets the technology requirement of the pilot program; (2) the process or apparatus for the manufacturing of semiconductor devices covered by the claim meeting the technology requirement is not disclosed in the specification as being primarily focused on the manufacturing of semiconductor devices; (3) the application or national stage entry was not filed electronically in Patent Center; (4) the specification, claim(s), and abstract of the application were not submitted in DOCX format at the time of filing or national stage entry; (5) the application is not an original (nonreissue), nonprovisional utility application filed under 35 U.S.C. 111(a), VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:47 Nov 30, 2023 Jkt 262001 or an international application that has entered the national stage under 35 U.S.C. 371; (6) the application claims the benefit of the filing date of two or more prior filed applications that are nonprovisional U.S. applications and/or international applications designating the United States; and (7) the petition was not filed with the application or national stage entry or within 30 days of the application’s filing date or national stage entry date. Part III. 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 to an invention that meets the technology requirement of this pilot program. Part IV. 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 MPEP 710.02(b). Part V. Replies by the Applicant Under the Pilot Program During the remainder of prosecution 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 or election 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 three independent claims or more than 20 total claims pending in the application; (2) add any multiple dependent claim(s); (3) cancel all claims that meet the technology requirement of the pilot program; (4) elect an invention that does not meet the technology requirement of the pilot program, or (5) cancel all claims to the elected invention. If a reply to a nonfinal Office action is not fully responsive for any of the reasons set forth above but is a genuine 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 PO 00000 Frm 00034 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 83929 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 genuine, and therefore, the time period set in the prior notice will continue to run. Part VI. 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). Part VII. Withdrawal From the Pilot Program There is no provision for withdrawal from the pilot program. An 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 merit, meet all requirements for special status under the pilot program, and be accompanied by its own petition as detailed in Part I above.
