<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The
same day I reached out to the Ombudsman, I also filed a
formal Status Request.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">So
today, I received a call from the Publications Branch (I
think in response to the Status Request).<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>The publications person told me that the reason the
application went abandoned was that I did not submit an
Issue Fee Transmittal.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>I explained that under the <span class="SpellE">QPIDS</span>
program I do not need to resubmit an Issue Fee Transmittal
and that the Examiner incorrectly mailed the wrong form in
response to the second
<span class="SpellE">QPIDS</span>.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Hence the reason why
the Petitions Office withdrew the holding of abandonment
(note, different from reviving) and remanded to the
Publications Branch for issuance.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Pubs
person insisted that an Issue Fee Transmittal needs to be
submitted or else the application will be abandoned again.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>I again explained that I had previously submitted the
Issue Fee Transmittal and under
<span class="SpellE">QPIDS</span>, because prosecution was
not reopened, I/Applicant need not do anything.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>The previously paid issue fee is to be automatically
applied without our even having to request such via
submitting a new Issue Fee Transmittal.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span

<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">He
said he is going to mail a notice saying they need Issue Fee
Transmittal within 2 months or else the application will be
abandoned.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span

<p class="MsoNormal"><span

<p class="MsoNormal"><span

I refiled the previously filed Issue Fee Transmittal and
appended thereto the page from the
<span class="SpellE">QPIDS</span> Q&A saying one need
not do anything if the Examiner does not reopen prosecution,
the petition to withdraw the abandonment that I previously
filed, and the Petition decision that withdrew the holding
of abandonment.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
