Changes to New Rules to Be Published in Early November

    By Donald Zuhn --

Uspto_seal Yesterday, we reported on the Patent Office's release of a pre-OG notice describing four significant changes to the new continuation and claims rules.  Those wondering when the changes would be published in the Official Gazette (OG) did not have to wait long.  In a USPTO e-Commerce e-Alert notice sent to EFS-Web users today, Commissioner of Patents John Doll stated that the clarifications to the new rules would be published in the Official Gazette on November 6, 2007.

Commissioner Doll also took the opportunity to "remind" recipients of the e-mail notice that the new continuation and claims rules would go into effect on November 1, 2007.  In what has become a routine refrain, the Commissioner concluded by acknowledging the "significant role" applicants and their representatives play "in providing the USPTO with quality applications which allow examiners to provide better quality examinations resulting in high quality patents."
