Will the filing of an RCE in a reissue application be announced in the Official Gazette?
No, the filing of a Request for Continued Examination (RCE) in a reissue application will not be announced in the Official Gazette. The MPEP 1452 explicitly states:
“Thus, the filing of an RCE will not be announced in the Official Gazette.”
This is because an RCE is a continuation of an existing reissue application rather than a new filing, and therefore does not warrant a separate announcement.
