How do I request early publication for my patent application?

To request early publication for your patent application, follow these steps:

1. Submit a request in compliance with 37 CFR 1.219.
2. Pay the publication fee as set forth in 37 CFR 1.18(d).

As stated in MPEP 1129, “Any request for early publication must be accompanied by the publication fee set forth in § 1.18(d).” It’s important to note that “No consideration will be given to requests for publication on a certain date, and such requests will be treated as a request for publication as soon as possible.”
