`

`Manual of Patent Examining Procedure (MPEP), Section 713.04, Substance of Interview Must be Made of Record
`A complete written statement as to the substance of any face-to-face, video conference, or telephone interview with regard to an application must be made of record in the
`application whether or not an agreementwith the examiner was reachedat the interview.
`
`Summary of Record of Interview Requirements
`
`Title 37 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 1.133 Interviews
`Paragraph (b)
`
`In every instance where reconsideration is requested in view of an interview with an examiner, a complete written statement of the reasons presented at the interview as
`warranting favorable action must be filed by the applicant. An interview does not remove the necessity for reply to Office action as specified in §§ 1.111, 1.135. (35 U.S.C.
`132)
`
`37 CFR §1.2 Businessto be transacted in writing.
`All business with the Patent or Trademark Office should be transacted in writing. The personal attendance of applicants or their attorneys or agents at the Patent and
`Trademark Office is unnecessary. The action of the Patent and Trademark Office will be based exclusively on the written record in the Office. No attention will be paid to any
`alleged oral promise, stipulation, or understandingin relation to which there is disagreement or doubt.
`
`The action of the Patent and Trademark Office cannot be based exclusively on the written record in the Office if that record is itself
`incomplete through the failure to record the substance ofinterviews.
`It is the responsibility of the applicant or the attorney or agent to make the substance of an interview of record in the application file, unless
`the examinerindicates he or she will do so.It is the examiners responsibility to see that such a record is made and to correct material inaccuracies
`which beardirectly on the question of patentability.
`
`Examiners must complete an Interview Summary Form for each interview held where a matter of substance has been discussed during the
`interview by checking the appropriate boxes and filling in the blanks. Discussions regarding only procedural matters, directed solely to restriction
`requirements for which interview recordation is otherwise provided for in Section 812.01 of the Manual of Patent Examining Procedure, or pointing out
`typographical errors or unreadable script in Office actions or the like, are excluded from the interview recordation procedures below. Where the
`substanceof an interview is completely recorded in an Examiners Amendment, no separate Interview Summary Record is required.
`
`The Interview Summary Form shall be given an appropriate Paper No., placed in the right hand portion ofthe file, and listed on the
`"Contents" section of the file wrapper. In a personalinterview, a duplicate of the Form is given to the applicant (or attorney or agent) at the conclusion of
`the interview. In the case of a telephone or video-conference interview, the copy is mailed to the applicants correspondence adcresseither with or prior
`to the next official communication. If additional correspondence from the examineris not likely before an allowance or if other circumstancesdictate, the
`Form should be mailed promptly after the interview rather than with the nextofficial communication.
`
`The Form provides for recordation of the following information:
`- Application Number(Series Code and Serial Number)
`- Name of applicant
`- Name of examiner
`- Date of interview
`- Type ofinterview (telephonic, video-conference, or personal)
`- Name ofparticipant(s) (applicant, attorney or agent, examiner, other PTO personnel, etc.)
`- An indication whether or not an exhibit was shown or a demonsiration conducted
`- An identification of the specific prior art discussed
`-
` Anindication whether an agreement was reached andif so, a description of the general nature of the agreement (may be by
`attachment of a copy of amendments orclaims agreed as being allowable). Note: Agreementas to allowability is tentative and does
`not restrict further action by the examiner to the contrary.
`- The signature of the examiner who conductedthe interview (if Form is not an attachment to a signed Office action)
`
`It is desirable that the examiner orally remind the applicant of his or her obligation to record the substance of the interview of each case. It
`should be noted, however,that the Interview Summary Form will not normally be considered a complete and proper recordation of the interview unless
`it includes, or is supplemented by the applicant or the examiner to include, all of the applicable items required below concerning the substance of the
`interview.
`
`A complete and proper recordation of the substance of any interview should include at least the following applicable items:
`1) A brief description of the nature of any exhibit shown or any demonstration conducted,-
`2) an identification of the claims discussed,
`3) an identification of the specific prior art discussed,
`4)
`an identification of the principal proposed amendments of a substantive nature discussed, unless these are already described on
`the Interview Summary Form completed by the Examiner,
`5) a brief identification of the general thrust of the principal arguments presented to the examiner,
`(The identification of arguments need not be lengthy or elaborate. A verbatim or highly detailed description of the arguments is not
`required. The identification of the argumentsis sufficient if the general nature or thrust of the principal arguments made to the
`examiner can be understood in the context of the application file. Of course, the applicant may desire to emphasize and fully
`describe those arguments which he or she feels were or might be persuasive to the examiner.)
`6) a general indication of any other pertinent matters discussed, and
`7)
`if appropriate, the general results or outcomeof the interview unless already described in the Interview Summary Form completed
`by the examiner.
`Examiners are expected to carefully review the applicants record of the substance of an interview. If the record is not complete and accurate,
`the examinerwill give the applicant an extendable one month time period to correct the record.
`
`Examiner to Check for Accuracy
`
`Ifthe claims are allowable for other reasons of record, the examiner should sendaletter setting forth the examiners version of the statement
`attributed to him or her. If the record is complete and accurate. the examiner should place the indication, Interview Record OK on the paper recording
`the substanceof the interview along with the date and the examinersinitials.
