What information is included in a Notice of Noncompliant Supplemental Examination Request?

A Notice of Noncompliant Supplemental Examination Request contains specific information to help the patent owner understand and address the issues. According to the MPEP:

The notice will specify the defects found in the request, and provide a specified time, generally 15 days, within which a corrected request may be timely filed. If further explanation is needed, an attachment to the notice will be provided specifically explaining why the request was non-compliant with the filing date requirements.

The notice typically includes:

• A list of specific defects found in the original request
• The deadline for submitting a corrected request (usually 15 days)
• An explanation of why the request was non-compliant
• If necessary, an attachment with further details on the non-compliance issues

This information is crucial for the patent owner to properly address all issues and submit a compliant request within the given timeframe.
