If the Examiner has not allowed the
claims, our team of patent professionals will respond in writing
by amending the claims and/or indicating how the examiner has
misinterpreted or incorrectly applied the patents found or the
laws applicable to patent applications. This document will request
reconsideration and will specifically address the perceived errors
in the examiner's office action. Frequently, the document will
include an amendment to the claims in order to clarify the invention
and to overcome the prior art cited in the first office action.
In addition to the amendment, the document may contain arguments
as to how the amended claims are patentable in view of the prior
references cited or the objections made. The response of an applicant
to an action by the office must be made before a prescribed deadline.
Typically, the deadline is set three months after the office action
was mailed, and can be extended one month at a time up to six
months. |
