What is the purpose of PALM EXPO 2970 in reexamination requests?
PALM EXPO 2970 plays a crucial role in the processing of reexamination requests at the USPTO:
- It is a database system used for entering bibliographic data of reexamination requests.
- The system generates the official filing date for compliant requests.
- It facilitates the creation of notices regarding the filing date.
- PALM EXPO 2970 helps in tracking and managing reexamination proceedings.
MPEP 2226 states: “If the request is in compliance with 37 CFR 1.510, the CRU or TC technical support staff will then enter the request into the PALM EXPO 2970 system. The system will automatically assign a “filing date” to the request based on the receipt date, and the notice of the filing date will be generated and mailed by the CRU or TC technical support staff.”
