`AND I .55(c)
`
`This decision is issued in response to the "FOURTH REQUEST FOR
`RECONSIDERATION OF PETITION DECISION" filed on March 17, 2015, which requests
`reconsideration under 37 CFR §§ I .78(a)(3) and I .55(c). For the reasons set forth below, the
`petitions are GRANTED.
`
`37 CFR 1.78(a)(3)
`
`The above-captioned U.S. patent issued from an application filed after November 29,
`2000, and the corrected benefit claim under 35 U.S.C. 120 is submitted after the expiration of the
`time period specified in 37 CFR l .78(a)(2)(ii). Under the circumstances present here, the
`petition is properly considered under 37 CFR 1.78(a)(3). See MPEP section 1481.03.
`
`A grantable petition under 37 CFR 1.78(a)(3) must be accompanied by the following:
`
`(I)
`
`(2)
`(3)
`
`the reference required by 35 U.S.C. 120 and 37 CFR
`1. 78(a)(2)(i) to the prior-filed application, unless
`previously submitted;
`the surcharge set forth in 37 CFR I. I 7(t); and
`a statement that the entire delay between the date the claim was due
`under 37 CFR I .78(a)(2)(ii) and the date the claim was filed was
`unintentional.
`
`With regard to item (i), a proper reference to the prior-filed application(s) has been
`included in an application data sheet or in an amendment to the first sentence of the specification
`as required by 37 CFR I .78(a)(2)(iii).
`
`With regard to item (ii), the surcharge set forth in 3 7 CFR I .17(t) has been submitted.

`
`

`

`Application No. 11/676,926
`
`2
`
`With regard to item (iii), the statement of unintentional delay contained in the petition
`differs slightly from the language contained in 37 CFR 1.78(a)(3)(iii) and is hereby construed as
`a statement that the entire delay between the date the claim was due under I. 78(a)(2)(ii) and the
`date the claim was filed was unintentional. If this interpretation is incorrect, applicant is required
`to immediately notify the Office. As construed, the provided statement of unintentional delay is
`acceptable.
`
`For the reasons above, the petition under 37 CFR 1.78{a)(3) is GRANTED.
`
`Applicant is advised that the inclusion of a prior-filed application on any filing receipt
`should not be construed as meaning that the application is necessarily entitled to the benefit of
`the prior-filed application. In order for an application to be entitled to the benefit of the prior(cid:173)
`filed application, all other requirements under 35 U.S.C. 120 and 37 CFR I .78 must be met.
`
`37 CFR 1.SS(c)
`
`The above-captioned U.S. patent issued from an application filed after November 29,
`2000, and the foreign priority claim under 35 U.S.C. 119(a)-(d) or 365(a) directed to French
`application number FR 9609420 was not submitted prior to the expiration of the time period
`specified in 37 CFR J.55(a)(l). Accordingly, this is an appropriate petition under the provisions
`of 37 CFR 1.55(c).
`
`A grantable petition under 37 CFR 1.55(c) to accept an unintentionally delayed claim for
`foreign priority requires the following:
`
`(I)
`
`the claim under 35 U.S.C. .119(a)-(d) or 365(a) and this section to the prior
`foreign application, unless previously submitted;
`
`(2)
`
`(3)
`
`the surcharge as set forth in 3 7 CFR I. l 7{t);
`
`a statement that the entire delay between the date the claim was due under 37
`CFR l.55(a)( 1) and the date the claim was filed was unintentional.
`
`With regard to requirement (I), petitioner has submitted an ADS which sets forth the
`foreign priority claim.
`
`With regard to requirement (2), the surcharge has been paid.
`
`With regard to requirement (3), petitioner has provided a statement of unintentional delay
`with respect to 37 CFR 1.55(a)(l ).
`
`For these reasons, the petition under 37 CFR l .55(c) is GRANTED.
