Event Synopsis:
The United States Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) issued a final rule regarding the effect of filing a Request for Continued Examination (RCE) on Patent Term Adjustment (PTA). In the case of Novartis v. Lee, the Federal Circuit generally agreed to limit the PTA after the filing of an RCE. The Federal Circuit also held that the time from patent application allowance to issuance is not equivalent to the time spent in examination since that period ends when a Notice of Allowance (NOA) is issued. The patent statute nominally guarantees that a patent will issue within three years of filing. If the USPTO delays in issuing the patent, the patentee will be awarded PTA of a day for each day of delay by the USPTO.
Key topics include:
Patent Term Adjustment (PTA)
Novartis AG v. Lee: Consequences
Revisions in the Rule
Request for Continued Examination (RCE)
Potentiality to Create Precedent
B-term Delay
Recent Regulatory Updates
Non-Compliance Risks
