What is the function of the PTOL-2066 form in inter partes reexamination?
The PTOL-2066 form is used for issuing the “Right of Appeal Notice” in inter partes reexamination proceedings. According to MPEP 2696, this form is associated with “37 CFR 1.953”. The Right of Appeal Notice is a crucial document that informs the parties involved in the reexamination of their right to appeal the examiner’s decision. This notice typically follows the Action Closing Prosecution and precedes any potential appeal to the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB).
