WHEN THE EXAMINER PROVIDES
A 1449 ON WHICH ONE ELEMENT OF A REFERENCE HAS BEEN CORRECTED YET THE ENTIRE REFERENCE IS LINED THROUGH
The relevant information in this bulletin will be included in the 2020 revision of
DATA ENTRY MANUAL FOR UTILITY PATENTS.
***This bulletin is effective immediately.***
See DATA ENTRY MANUAL FOR UTILITY PATENTS,
18. References Cited, Pre-Capture Verification, query guidelines for 1449 and 892 and NTC.IDS.CONS.
The following is added to the guidelines under “The PaDaCap contractor will initiate a printer RUSH if.”
The examiner provides a 1449 on which one element of a reference has been corrected yet the entire reference is lined through. In this example, the examiner corrected the document number but lined through the entire reference:
In such situations the PaDaCap contractor will send a new RUSH with wording similar to the following: “The 1449 dated ##/##/#### shows a corrected reference (Page #, Cite No. #) that is lined through. Typically, a line through a reference indicates the reference was not considered. Can you clarify if this reference was considered and that this reference should be printed on the issued patent?” If the XRUSH does not provide the requested clarification, the PaDaCap contractor will send another RUSH. The examiner may use the [XRUSH] Response box to provide the requested clarification. A replacement 1449 is not required. (When the examiner provides the requested clarification on the XRUSH but does not provide a replacement 1449, the PaDaCap contractor will correct the 1449 to reflect the examiner’s clarification and, either electronically or by printing and scanning, will deliver the corrected 1449 to the Image File Wrapper.)
