Miscellaneous Changes in Patent Practice
The Patent and Trademark Office (Office) is amending the rules of practice in patent cases to implement a number of miscellaneous changes proposed in the rulemaking entitled ``Changes to Implement 18- Month Publication of Patent Applications'' (Notice of Proposed Rulemaking), published in the Federal Register at 60 FR 42352 (August 15, 1995), and in the Patent and Trademark Office Official Gazette 1177 Off. Gaz. Pat. Office 61 (August 15, 1995), that are not directly related to the 18-month publication of patent applications. While the proposed rule changes in the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking were designed primarily to implement the changes in practice related to the publication of patent applications provided for in H.R. 1733, these miscellaneous proposed changes clarify current rules of practice, without regard to the publication of patent applications.
