<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Thank you for your reply, that\u2019s good news. One rub is that the AAU representative also told me that the POA I\u2019d filed won\u2019t be processed because the provisional has lapsed (I\u2019ve been told \u2013 and have seen
\u2013 this many times when trying to access provisional applications filed by the client, which I think is so frustrating), so I won\u2019t be able to see the entire filewrapper. Hopefully the client still has all the documentation he\u2019d received \u2013 and he doesn\u2019t
have access to the file either! He thinks he filed as a guest and doesn\u2019t have a USPTO account? Nothing like untying a knot at the last minute!

<p>So if I understand that the prov was filed 6/16/2024, and went abandoned 2/25/2025 due to failure to respond to NTFMP, then you should be able to petition to revive unintentionally abandoned application. I just did the same thing in a self-filed provisional
where the ADS had not been signed by all inventors and so was treated as not having been filed. They didn't get the notice, the application went abandoned, and as soon as we discovered it when I got the case we filed petition to revive. PTO form SB0064. Make
sure to comb through the file history and also file with the petition a reply to any outstanding requirements. It's less than 2 years, so you only have to state that the delay was unintentional - you don't need a statement.<o:p></o:p></p>
