Office Action Information
What is an Office Action?
An office action is an official letter sent by the USPTO. In the office action, an examining patent practitioner will list the results of his/her own examination of your patent.
What is the difference between a non-final and final office action?
A non-final office action is normally the first office action sent for a patent application. The examiner states his/her opinion on the patentability of the claims drafted. A final office action is typically sent by the examiner after reviewing the applicant’s response to the first non-final office action. Each office action type allows different proceedings for response.
How can I save money when I receive an office action?
Office actions have a time period for response. That response needs to be filed at the USPTO within that time period or the client will have to pay a fee for an extension of time. Contact our team promptly after receiving an office action and make sure reviews, and materials are delivered quickly.
