What is the deadline for filing an application for interim extension?
The deadline for filing an application for interim extension is specified in MPEP 2755.01: “The application for interim extension must be filed during the period beginning 6 months and ending 15 working days before the patent is due to expire.” This timeframe ensures that the USPTO has sufficient time to process the application before the patent’s expiration date.
