Request for Comments on Proposed Changes to Restriction Practice in Patent Applications
In situations in which two or more independent and distinct inventions are claimed in a single patent application, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (Office) is authorized by the patent laws and implementing regulations to require the applicant to restrict the application to one invention.

The Office is considering changes to restriction practice to improve the quality and consistency of restriction requirements made by Office personnel.
