Are reserved MPEP sections common?
Reserved sections are relatively common in the MPEP, especially for section numbers that are being held for future use or that previously contained content that was moved. A quick scan of the MPEP Chapter 200 shows several reserved sections, such as:
- Section 203.07 [Reserved]
- Sections 204-209 [Reserved]
- Section 212 [Reserved]
