<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">Justice Gorsuch (while still on the Tenth Circuit) explained that one relies on PTO subregulatory guidance to override a statute at one's peril. I couldn't remember the case until
I hit send, then it came to me <a href="https://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=3098648296141854653" target="_blank">
https://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=3098648296141854653</a> The PTO doesn't have authority to waive the six month deadline just by giving it an oddball name. "Any action" means "any action." Whatever authority the PTO had to torture statutes ended
with Loper Bright last summer. The PTO structures its practices to maximize fee income, not to give value to applicants. When it comes to a choice between fee revenue and the law, the law can go to hell. So don't trust these representations -- your opposing
defendant won't.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p>I see your point, but I know the office (FWIW) interprets Missing Parts as having 5 month extension available, which is what I was taught. I understood the keyword here in 35 USC 132 to be "ON EXAMINATION." But this isn't examination because it's always
<i>pre-</i>examination. In other words, although this may be an action, it's during a pre-examination review, not "on examination". Not sure how clearly that distinction carries into other thing, though.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Have I been missing something for years now? What happens when the office grants a patent after response to NTFMP at 7 months<o:p></o:p></p>
