`
`PETITION UNDER 37 C.F'.R. § 1.55 and§ 1.78 F'OR DELAYED CLAIM 01'' PRIORITY
`
`Papst Licensing GmbH & Co. KG ("Papst" or "Applicant"), petitions the Director under
`
`37 C.F.R.. § 1.55 and § L78 t{x a delayed claim of priority. The above-referenced US
`
`Application No. 11/078,778 ('"778 Application") is entitled to domestic priority to U.S.
`
`Application No. 10/219,105, filed August 15, 2002, which is a divisional application of U.S.
`
`Application No. 09/331,002, filed June 14, 1999, and is also entitled to foreign priority to PCT
`
`Application No. PCT/EP98/01187, filed March 3, 1998, \Vhich claims priority to Gem1an
`
`Application No. DE 19708755.8, filed March 4, 1997.
`
`It has recently come w Applicant's
`
`attention that the filing documents accompanying the '778 Application mistakenly omit a
`
`specific reference to U.S. Application No. 09/331,002, the National Stage of PCT Application
`
`No. PCT/EP98/0l187; this omission is a result of an administrative error. Applicant intended to
`
`claim priority to each prior-filed lJ.S. Application and foreign application in the fibng documents
`
`accompanying the '778 Application, which is evidenced by the record. As such, a delay in
`
`expressly claiming such priority to i.J.S. Application No. 09/331,002 has resulted, which
`
`Applicant seeks to correct by this Petition. Applicant further contends that the entire delay
`
`between the date the benefit dairn was due and the date the benefit claim \vas filed was
`
`unintentionaL
`
`For the reasons set fo1th in this Petition, Applicant contends that the Patent Ofii.ce should
`
`GRANT this Petition under 37 C.F.R. § 1.55 and §1.78.
