                        <p>Will the patent center versions of the IDS
                          form SB/08A be updated to include the mandated
                          fee statements discussed at 89 FR 91925,

                        <p>&nbsp;</p>
                        <p style="margin-left:0.5in"><i>Additionally,
                            the USPTO is amending §\u20091.98(a) to include a
                            new content requirement for an IDS that will
                            facilitate implementation of the IDS size
                            fee. Specifically, the USPTO is requiring
                            that an IDS contain a clear written
                            assertion by the applicant and patent owner
                            that the IDS is accompanied by the
                            appropriate IDS size fee or that no IDS size
                            fee is required. This assertion is necessary
                            because it ensures the record is clear as to
                            which fee the applicant or patent owner
                            believes may be due (or that no fee may be
                            due) with the IDS so the examiner can
                            promptly ascertain whether the IDS is
                            compliant. There is no specific language
                            required for the written assertion, but it
                            should be readily identifiable on the IDS
                            and clearly convey the applicable IDS size
                            fee by specifying the particular paragraph
                            in §\u20091.17(v) that applies (
                          </i><em><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-style:normal">e.g.,</span></em><i>

                        <p style="margin-left:0.5in"><i>&nbsp;</i></p>
                        <p>If so, will the forms be available before the
