<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Hi everyone, <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">We have a utility/foreign filing deadline of 6/16/2025 based on the filing date of a US provisional application (6/16/2025). The client filed the provisional application himself, and had provided me with
the application as filed and the ADS he’d filed. I’m today learning that he’d received a Notice to File Missing Parts because no certification statement for his micro-entity status had been filed with the application.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I called the AAU and was told the provisional has been abandoned since 2/25/2025 because the client never replied to the Notice. I’m aware of petitioning to restore the right of priority to a prior-filed
provisional that has naturally expired at the end of the 12-month term, but is there a way to revive a provisional for failure to respond to a Notice? The AAU representative told me there’s nothing we can do, and I’m not aware of any solution – but hoping
someone here has a better answer. Thank you! <o:p></o:p></span></p>
