`

`
`Manual of Paternt Examining Procedure (MPEP), Section 71 3.04, Substance of Interview Must be Made of Record
`A complete written statement as to the substance ol any lace·to-laoe, video conference, or 1elephone interview with regard to an application must be made ol record in the
`application whether or not an agreement with the examiner was reached at the interview.
`
`Summary of Record of Interview Requirements
`
`Title 37 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) § 1.133lnterviews
`Paragraph (b)
`
`In every instance whBre reconsideratiorn is requested in view of an interview with an examiner, a complete wlitten statement of the reasons presented at the interview as
`warranting favorat:je action must be filed by the applicant. An interview does not remove the necessity f()( reply to Office action as specified in§§ 1.1 tt , t .135. (35 U.S.C. 132)
`
`37 CFR § 1.2 Business to be transacted in writing.
`All business with the Patent or Trademark Ollice should be transacted in writing. The personal attendance ol applicants()( their attorneys or agents at the Patent and
`Trademark Office is unnecess8J'y. The action ol the Patent and Trademark Office will be based exclusively on the written record in the Office. No attention will be paid to
`any alleged oral promise, stipulation, or understanding in relation to which there is disagreement or doubt.
`
`The action of the Patent and Trademark Office cannot be based exclusively on the written record in the Office if that record is itself
`incomplete through the failure to record the substance of interviews.
`It is the responsibility of the applicant or the attorney or agent to make the substance of an interview of record in the application file, unless
`the examiner indicates he or she will do so. It is the examiner's responsibility to see that such a record is made and to correct material inaccuracies
`which bear directly on the question of patentabilijy_
`
`Examiners must complete an Interview Summary Form for each interview held where a matter of substance has been discussed during the
`interview by checking the appropriate boxes and filling in the blanks. Discussions regarding only procedural matters, directed solely to restriction
`requirements for which interview recordation is otheiWise provided for in Section 812.01 of the Manual of Patent Examining Procedure, or pointing
`out typographical errors or unreadable script in Office actions or the like, are excluded from the interview recordation procedures below. Where the
`substance of an interview is completely recorded in an Examiners Amendment, no separate Interview Summary Record is required.
`
`The Interview Summary Form shall be given an appropriate Paper No., placed in the right hand portion of the file, a nd listed on the
`"Contents" section of the file wrapper. In a personal interview, a duplicate of the Form is given to the applicant (or attorney or agent) at the
`conclusion of the interview. In the case of a telephone or video-conference interview, the copy is mailed to the applicant's correspondence address
`either with or prior to the next official communication. If additional correspondence from the examiner is not likely before an allowance or if other
`circumstances dictate, the Form should be mailed promptly after the interview rather than with the next o·fficial communication.
`
`The Form provides for recordation of the following information:
`-Application Number (Series Code and Serial Number)
`-Name of applicant
`-Name of examiner
`- Date of interview
`-Type of interview (telephonic, video-conference, or personal)
`-Name of participant(s) (applicant, attorney or agent, examiner, other PTO personnel, etc.)
`-An indication whether or not an exhibit was shown or a demonstration conducted
`-An identification of the specific prior art discussed
`An indication whether an agreement was reached and if so, a description of t he general nature of the agreement (may be by
`attachment of a copy of amendments or daims agreed as being allowable). Note: Agreement as to allowability is tentative and does
`not restrict further action by the examiner to the contrary.
`-The signature of the examiner who conducted the interview (if Form is not an attachment to a signed Office action)
`
`It is desirable that the ex.aminer orally remind the applicant of his or her obligation to record the substance of the interview of each case. It
`should be noted, however, that the, Interview Summary Form will not normally be considered a complete and proper recordation of the interview
`unless it includes, or is supplemented by the applicant or the examiner to include, all of the applicable items required below concerning the
`substance of the interview.
`A complete and proper recordation of the substance of any interview should include at least the following applicable items:
`1) A brief description of the nature of any exhibit shown or any demonstration conducted,
`2) an identification of the, claims discussed,
`3) an identification of the· specific prior art discussed,
`4) an identification of the· principal proposed amendments of a substantive nature discussed, unless these are already described on the
`Interview Summary Form completed by the Examiner,
`5) a brief identification of the general thrust of the principal arguments presented to the examiner,
`(The identification of arguments need not be lengthy or elaborate. A verbatim or highly detailed description of the arguments is not
`required. The identification of the arguments is sufficient if the general nature or thrust of the principal arguments made to the
`examiner can be understood in the context of the application file. Of course, the applicant may desire to emphasize and fully
`describe those arguments which he or she feels were or might be persuasive to the examiner.)
`6) a general indication ofr any other pertinent matters discussed, and
`7) if appropriate, the general results or outcome of the interview unless already described in the Interview Summary Fomn completed by
`the examiner.
`Examiners are expected to carefully review the applicant's record of the substance of an interview. If the record is not complete and
`accurate, the examiner will give the applicant an extendable one month time period to correct the record.
`
`Examiner to Check for Accuracy
`
`If the claims are allowabl~e for other reasons of record, the examiner should send a letter setting forth the examiner's version of the
`statement attributed to him or her. If the record is complete and accurate, the examiner should place the indication, "Inter view Record OK" on the
`paper recording the substance of the interview along with the date and the examiner's initials .
