`Determination of Patent Term Adjustment under 35 U.S.C. 154 (b)
`(Applications filed on or after May 29, 2000)
`
`The Office has discontinued providing a Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) calculation with the Notice of Allowance.
`
`to eliminate the
`Section 1(h)(2) of the AIA Technical Corrections Act amended 35 U.S.C. 154(b)(3)(B)(i)
`requirement that the Office provide a patent term adjustment determination with the notice of allowance. See
`Revisions to Patent Term Adjustment, 78 Fed. Reg. 19416, 19417 (Apr. 1, 2013). Therefore, the Office is no longer
`providing an initial patent term adjustment determination with the notice of allowance. The Office will continue to
`provide a patent term adjustment determination with the Issue Notification Letter that
`is mailed to applicant
`approximately three weeks prior to the issue date of the patent, and will include the patent term adjustment on the
`patent. Any request for reconsideration of the patent term adjustment determination (or reinstatement of patent term
`adjustment) should follow the process outlined in 37 CFR 1.705.
`
`Any questions regarding the Patent Tenn Extension or Adjustment determination should be directed to the Office of
`Patent Legal Administration at (571)-272-7702. Questions relating to issue and publication fee payments should be
`directed to the Customer Service Center of the Office of Patent Publication at 1-(888)-786-0101 or (571)-272-4200.

`
`OMB Clearance and PRA Burden Statement for PTOL—85 Part B
`
`The Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 requires Federal agencies to obtain Office of Management and
`Budget approval before requesting most types of information from the public. When OMB approves an agency
`request to collect information from the public, OMB (i) provides a valid OMB Control Number and expiration
`date for the agency to display on the instrument that will be used to collect the information and (ii) requires the
`agency to inform the public about the OMB Control Number’s legal significance i11 accordance with 5 CFR
`l320.5(b).
`
`The information collected by PTOL—85 Part B is required by 37 CFR 1.311. The information is required to obtain
`or retain a benefit by the public which is to file (and by the USPTO to process) an application. Confidentiality is
`governed by 35 U.S.C. 122 and 37 CFR 1.14. This collection is estimated to take 12 mi11utes to complete,
`including gathering, preparing, and submitting the completed application form to the USPTO. Time will vary
`depending upon the individual case. Any comments on the amount of time you require to complete this form
`and/or suggestions for reducing this burden, should be sent to the Chief lnformation Officer, U.S. Patent and
`Trademark Office, U.S. Department of Commerce, P.O. Box 1450, Alexandria, Virginia 22313-1450. DO NOT
`SEND FEES OR COMPLETED FORMS TO THIS ADDRESS. SEND TO: Commissioner for Patents, P.O. Box

`respond to a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB control number.

`
`Examiner’s Note
`
`12.
`
`The Office has relied upon publication US 2008/0193797 A1 as the English

`
`13.

`Claims1 5 17 18 24 26-31 34 35 39 42 43 45-47 and 52-58 are allowed.
`
`Allowable Subject Matter
`
`The closest prior art is provided by Heil et al. (WO 2007/022845 A1) which
`
`discloses compounds of the following form:
`
`{2.~1:ji~
`
`([0029]) where x = c(R‘)2, N(R‘), 0, or s ([0018]); R‘ = aryl or heteroaryl group ([0019])
`
`such as benzene or pyridine ([0024]). A particular embodiment is disclosed:

`
`L‘
`
`(page 11). However, it is the position of the Office that neither Heil et al. singly nor in
`
`combination with any other prior art provides sufficient motivation to produce the
`
`compounds according to formulae (1) or (2) as defined by the Applicant, particularly in
`
`regards to X1.2.

`
`14.

`The examiner can normally be reached on Monday to Thursday from 8:30 am to 6:00

`
`supervisor, Jennifer A. Chriss can be reached on (571)272-7783. The fax phone
`
`number for the organization where this application or proceeding is assigned is 571-
