Can I still file a request for a Statutory Invention Registration (SIR)?

No, you can no longer file a request for a Statutory Invention Registration (SIR). MPEP 1101 clearly states: “Requests for a statutory invention registration filed on or after March 16, 2013 will not be treated as the provisions of pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 157 were repealed on March 16, 2013, effective for any request filed on or after that date.” If you’re seeking to protect your invention, you should consider filing a regular patent application instead.
