I have a case that went abandoned because of the USPTO failing to properly process/follow QPIDS procedures.



Petitions granted my petition and withdrew the abandonment.



The case was returned to the Office of Publications to process the Letters Patent.  It has been sitting in the Office of Publications since February 16th.  Thus, I decided to contact the Ombudsman to help get this case out of limbo so the patent is granted.  Below is the back and forth correspondence (note most recent emails on top as usual email strings).



I feel like I am having a conversation with ChatGPT and I am about to shoot myself.

The case is not in the domain/purview of the Examiner.  PatentCenter indicates that it is in the OFFICE OF PUBLICATIONS, i.e., the division that prepares applications for PATENT GRANT.



I am requesting that YOU as the Ombudsman poke the people in the OFFICE OF PUBLICATIONS to help get this case out of limbo and get the OFFICE OF PUBLICATIONS to act on the Letters Patent.

Thank you for contacting the Patents Ombudsman Office. Please see response below.



Hello,



No issue notification has been sent out. You will want to check with the examiner to see if they will be sending out another Part B fees transmittal form. If the examiner says no you will have to give it a few more months for the issue notification.



Best regards,

Patrick

I know the application is revived.



It should be GRANTED by now, at least we should have received an Issue Notification by now.

U.S. Application No.: [redacted] is allowed, i.e., the Petitions Office withdrew the abandonment February 20, 2024 (see attached), thus, this application should have been processed by the patent grant publications division for grant.



However, since February 20th, the patent grant publications division has yet to take any action.



Thus, we need help getting this application processed for issuance of the Letters Patent.



Thanks,

Suzannah K. Sundby

Reg. No. 43,172
