Colleagues:

Many years ago, I learned that there is a procedure at the USPTO whereby an interested third party may inform the examiner of prior art and other pertinent information relating to another party’s pending patent application. This would be done before a notice of allowance or issue of a patent. However, I forgot details of the procedure. This would not be accomplished via an IPR or PGR, as no patent would have yet been issued.

Can anyone tell me the statute, regulation, or MPEP section that describes this procedure. Any additional information would be greatly appreciated.  Are there any fees associated with such a submission?

Thank you in advance.
