`(Not to be Submitted to the USPTO)
`
`This form is only for requesting a recalculation of PTA for patents issued
`before March 2, 2010, if the sole basis for requesting the recalculation is the USPTO's
`pre-Wyeth interpretation of 35 U.S.C. 154(b)(2)(A).
`
`This form must be filed within 180 days of the day the patent was granted, with the
`following exception:
`
`Patentees who received a decision from the USPTO under the USPTO's pre-Wyeth
`interpretation of 35 U.S.C. 154(b)(2)(A) may file a request for reconsideration of that decision if
`such a request for reconsideration is filed within two months of the date of the decision (37
`CFR 1.181 (f)). If the patentee's sole basis for requesting reconsideration of the decision is the
`USPTO's pre-Wyeth interpretation of 35 U.S.C. 154(b)(2)(A), the request for reconsideration
`need only state that reconsideration is being requested in view of Wyeth (this form may be
`used for this purpose if it is filed within two months of the date of the decision from the
`USPTO).
`
`Do not use this form if the application has been allowed, but not yet issued as a
`patent.
`
`1. For patents issued before March 2, 2010: A request for reconsideration under 37 CFR
`1.705(d) and the fee set forth in 37 CFR 1.18(e) are not required, provided that the patentee's
`sole basis for requesting recalculation of the PTA in the patent is the USPTO's pre-Wyeth
`interpretation of 35 U.S.C. 154(b)(2)(A) and this form is filed within 180 days of the day the patent
`was granted.
`
`2. For patents issued on or after March 2, 2010 (do not use this form): Patentees seeking a
`revised PTA in a patent issued on or after March 2, 2010, must file a request for reconsideration
`under 37 CFR 1.705(d) that complies with the requirements of 37 CFR 1.705(b)(1) and (b)(2)
`within two months of the day the patent issued.

`
`REMARKS
`
`Claims 1-30 are allowed. The Applicant appreciates the Examiner's
`
`allowance of these claims and respectfully submits the following Comments on
`
`the Statement of Reasons for Allowance:
`
`The Applicant respectfully submits that the Reasons for Allowance may
`
`potentially import interpretations into the claims in relation to the prior art that are
`
`unnecessarily limited and may place unwarranted interpretations upon the
`
`claims.
`
`Such a characterization of the claims in view of the prior art may not
`
`properly take into account the Applicant's claimed invention as reflected in the
`
`claims, the specification and the prosecution history of the present application.
`
`Applicant believes that the claims, the specification, and the prosecution history
`
`in their entirety provide an adequate basis for the allowability of the claims.
`
`Additionally, specific parts of the Examiner's reasons for allowance may
`
`pertain to limitations appearing in some of the claims, but not others of the
`
`claims. The Applicant respectfully submits that the Examiner has thoroughly
`
`examined the claims, recognized the limitations appearing or not appearing in
`
`each of the claims, and properly found the claims to be allowable based on the
`
`record.
