Can patent attorneys or applicants propose content for reserved MPEP sections like 319?
While patent attorneys or applicants cannot directly propose content for reserved MPEP sections like 319, they can provide feedback or suggestions to the USPTO regarding patent examination procedures or policies. The USPTO occasionally seeks public input on proposed changes to patent examination practices, which could potentially influence the content added to reserved sections in the future. However, the ultimate decision on what content to include in the MPEP rests with the USPTO.
