`Applicant’s Petition To Accept Late Payment of the Basic National Fee Under 37

`proper response was previously filed on 22 December 2009. The petition fee has
`been furnished. A terminal disclaimer is not required as the application was filed on
`or after 08 June 1995. Accordingly, all requirements under 37 CFR 1.137 (a) have
