Prosecution Pointer 217

March 18, 2020

Relief for Customers Affected by COVID-19: The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) considers the effects of coronavirus to be an "extraordinary situation" within the meaning of 37 CFR §§ 1.183 and 37 CFR § 2.146 for affected patent and trademark applicants, patentees, reexamination parties, and trademark owners. Therefore, the USPTO is waiving petition fees in certain situations for customers impacted by the coronavirus. A link to the official notice can be found here.
