What is the role of reminders in the Patentability Report process?

Reminders play an important role in ensuring the timely completion of Patentability Reports (P.R.s). According to MPEP 705.01(c), To ensure orderly progress in the reported dates, a timely reminder should be furnished to the TC making the P.R. This procedure helps maintain efficiency in the patent examination process by prompting the reporting Technology Center (TC) to complete the P.R. in a timely manner. It’s a proactive measure to prevent delays and keep the application moving through the examination pipeline.
