What options does an applicant have if an application is abandoned after reopening prosecution?

If an application is abandoned after reopening prosecution following a withdrawal from issue, the applicant has specific options regarding the previously paid issue fee. According to MPEP 1308.01:

“If abandoned, applicant may request refund or credit to a deposit account.”

The applicant’s options include:

  • Requesting a refund of the previously paid issue fee
  • Requesting that the issue fee be credited to a deposit account

It’s important to note that these options are available specifically in the context of an application that has been withdrawn from issue, had prosecution reopened, and subsequently been abandoned. Applicants should consider their circumstances carefully when deciding which option to pursue.
