What should be included in a corrected request for supplemental examination?
A corrected request for supplemental examination must be comprehensive and include all necessary components. The MPEP states, “The corrected request must include all of the components that the patent owner intends to include as part of the request, such as, for example, the request itself, copies of each of the items of information, a copy of the patent for which supplemental examination is requested, any transmittal sheet, a submission in compliance with 37 CFR 3.73(c), etc.” It’s crucial to submit a complete, corrected request that replaces the original one, as the USPTO will expunge the original request once a corrected one is received.
