What information should be included in a Notice of Allowability?

A Notice of Allowability (form PTOL-37) should include specific information related to the allowance of the patent application. According to MPEP 1302.03:

“The date of any communication and/or interview which resulted in the allowance should be included in the notice.”

Based on this guidance, a Notice of Allowability typically includes:

• The application number and filing date
• The name(s) of the applicant(s)
• The examiner’s name and art unit
• The title of the invention
• The allowed claims
• Any examiner’s amendments or reasons for allowance
• The date of any communication or interview that led to the allowance
• Any required fees or other administrative matters

This comprehensive information ensures that both the applicant and the USPTO have a clear record of the allowance decision and its basis.
