What information should be included in a CPA request?

When filing a Continued Prosecution Application (CPA) request, certain key information must be included. Based on MPEP ¶ 2.35, the following details are essential:

• The filing date of the CPA request
• The application number of the prior application

The MPEP states: “Receipt is acknowledged of the ‘conditional’ request for a Continued Prosecution Application (CPA) filed on [1] under 37 CFR 1.53(d) based on prior Application No. [2].” Here, [1] represents the filing date of the CPA request, and [2] represents the application number of the prior application.

It’s important to ensure that this information is accurately provided to facilitate proper processing of the CPA request by the USPTO.
