What issues can trigger a Printer Rush in patent applications?
Several issues can trigger a Printer Rush in patent applications after they have been allowed. According to MPEP 1309.02:
“Issues which may prevent publication until they are resolved include but are not limited to: amendments under 37 CFR 1.312, a Request for Correction of Inventorship under 37 CFR 1.48 and Information Disclosure Statements which have not been initialed by the examiner.”
These issues require immediate attention from the examiner to ensure they are resolved before the patent can be published. Other issues not explicitly mentioned may also trigger a Printer Rush if they could potentially affect the publication of the patent.
