`
`PROTECTING YOUR INVENTION OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES
`
`Since the rights granted by a U.S. patent extend only throughout the territory of the United States and have no
`effect in a foreign country, an inventor who wishes patent protection in another country must apply for a patent
`in a specific country or in regional patent offices. Applicants may wish to consider the filing of an international
`application under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT). An international (PCT) application generally has the same
`effect as a regular national patent application in each PCT-member country. The PCT process simplifies the filing
`of patent applications on the same invention in member countries, but does not result in a grant of "an international

`
`

`

`patent" and does not eliminate the need of applicants to file additional documents and fees in countries where patent
`protection is desired.
`
`Almost every country has its own patent law, and a person desiring a patent in a particular country must make an
`application for patent in that country in accordance with its particular laws. Since the laws of many countries differ
`in various respects from the patent law of the United States, applicants are advised to seek guidance from specific
`foreign countries to ensure that patent rights are not lost prematurely.
`
`Applicants also are advised that in the case of inventions made in the United States, the Director of the USPTO must
`issue a license before applicants can apply for a patent in a foreign country. The filing of a U.S. patent application
`serves as a request for a foreign filing license. The application's filing receipt contains further information and
`guidance as to the status of applicant's license for foreign filing.
`
`Applicants may wish to consult the USPTO booklet, "General Information Concerning Patents" (specifically, the
`section entitled "Treaties and Foreign Patents") for more information on timeframes and deadlines for filing foreign
`patent applications. The guide is available either by contacting the USPTO Contact Center at 800-786-9199, or it
`can be viewed on the USPTO website at http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/pac/doc/general/index.html.
`
`For information on preventing theft of your intellectual property (patents, trademarks and copyrights), you may wish
`to consult the U.S. Government website, http://www.stopfakes.gov. Part of a Department of Commerce initiative,
`this website includes self-help "toolkits" giving innovators guidance on how to protect intellectual property in specific
`countries such as China, Korea and Mexico. For questions regarding patent enforcement issues, applicants may
`call the U.S. Government hotline at 1-866-999-HAL T (1-866-999-4158).
`
`LICENSE FOR FOREIGN FILING UNDER
`
`Title 35, United States Code, Section 184
`
`Title 37, Code of Federal Regulations, 5.11 & 5.15
`
`GRANTED
`
`The applicant has been granted a license under 35 U.S.C. 184, if the phrase "IF REQUIRED, FOREIGN FILING
`LICENSE GRANTED" followed by a date appears on this form. Such licenses are issued in all applications where
`the conditions for issuance of a license have been met, regardless of whether or not a license may be required as
`set forth in 37 CFR 5.15. The scope and limitations of this license are set forth in 37 CFR 5.15(a) unless an earlier
`license has been issued under 37 CFR 5.15(b). The license is subject to revocation upon written notification. The
`date indicated is the effective date of the license, unless an earlier license of similar scope has been granted under
`37 CFR 5.13 or 5.14.
`
`This license is to be retained by the licensee and may be used at any time on or after the effective date thereof unless
`it is revoked. This license is automatically transferred to any related applications(s) filed under 37 CFR 1.53(d). This
`license is not retroactive.
`
`The grant of a license does not in any way lessen the responsibility of a licensee for the security of the subject matter
`as imposed by any Government contract or the provisions of existing laws relating to espionage and the national
`security or the export of technical data. Licensees should apprise themselves of current regulations especially with
`respect to certain countries, of other agencies, particularly the Office of Defense Trade Controls, Department of
`State (with respect to Arms, Munitions and Implements of War (22 CFR 121-128)); the Bureau of Industry and

`

`Security, Department of Commerce (15 CFR parts 730-774); the Office of Foreign AssetsControl, Department of
`Treasury (31 CFR Parts 500+) and the Department of Energy.
`
`NOT GRANTED
`
`No license under 35 U.S.C. 184 has been granted at this time, if the phrase "IF REQUIRED, FOREIGN FILING
`LICENSE GRANTED" DOES NOT appear on this form. Applicant may still petition for a license under 37 CFR 5.12,
`if a license is desired before the expiration of 6 months from the filing date of the application. If 6 months has lapsed
`from the filing date of this application and the licensee has not received any indication of a secrecy order under 35
`U.S.C. 181, the licensee may foreign file the application pursuant to 37 CFR 5.15(b).

`

`NOTE: "A complete provisional application does not require claims sinceno examination on the merits will be given to a
`provisional application. However, provisional applications may be filed with one or more claims as part of the
`application. Nevertheless, no additional claim fee or multiple dependent claims fee will be required in a
`provisional application." Notice of December 5, 1994, 59 FR 63951, at 63953.
`
`"Any claim filed with a provisional application will, of course, be considered part of the original provisional
`application disclosure." Notice of Apri/14, 1995, 60 Fed. Reg. 20,195, at 20,209.
`
`NOTE: "A provisional application is not entitled to the right of priority under 35 US. C. 119 or 365(a) or§ 1.55, or to the
`benefit of an earlier filing date under 35 US. C. 120, 121 or 365(c) or§ 1. 78 of any other application. No claim
`for priority under§ 1. 78(a)(3) may be made in a design application based on a provisional application. No
`request under§ 1.293 for a statutory invention registration may be filed in a provisional application. The
`requirements of§§ 1. 821 through 1. 82 5 regarding application disclosures containing nucleotide and/or amino
`acid sequences are not mandatory for provisional applications." 37 C.F.R. 1.53(c)(3).
`
`NOTE: "No information disclosure statement may be filed in a provisional application." 37 C.F.R. § 1.51(d). "Any
`information disclosure statements filed in a provisional application would either be returned or disposed of at the
`convenience of the Office." Notice of December 5, 1994, 59 FR 63591, at 63594.
`
`NOTE: "No amendment other than to make the provisional application comply with the patent statute and all applicable
`regulations, may be made to the provisional application after the filing date of the provisional application. "3 7
`C.F.R. § 1.53(c).
`
`NOTE: 35 US. C. 1 19(e) provides that "{i}fthe day that is 12 months after the filing date of a provisional application falls
`on a Saturday, Sunday, or Federal Holiday within the District of Columbia, the period of pendency of the
`provisional application shall be extended to the next succeeding secular or business day."
`
`This is a request for filing a PROVISIONAL APPLICATION FOR PATENT under 37 C.F.R.
`§ 1.51(c)(l)(i).
`
`1.
`
`2.
`
`The following comprises the information required by 37 C.F.R. § 1.5l(c)(l):
`
`The name(s) ofthe inventor(s) is/are (37 C.F.R. § 1.5l(c)(l)(ii)):
`
`NOTE: "If the correct inventor or inventors are not named on filing, a provisional application without a cover sheet
`under§ 1.51(c)(1), the later submission of a cover sheet under§ 1.51(c)(l) during the pendency of the application
`will act to correct the earlier identification ofinventorship." 37 C.F.R. § 1.48(/)(2).
`
`NOTE: "The naming of inventors for obtaining a filing date for a provisional application is the same as for other
`applications. A provisional application filed with the inventors identified as 'Jones eta/.' will not be accorded a
`filing date earlier than the date upon which the name of each inventor is supplied unless a petition with the fee set
`forth in§ f. 1 7(i) isfiledwhich sets forth the reasons the delay in supplying the names should be excused.
`Administrative oversight is an acceptable reason. It should be noted that for a 35 U.S. C. 111 (a) application to be
`entitled to claim the benefit of the filing date of a provisional application the 35 US. C. 111 (a){,] application must
`have at least one inventor in common with the provisional application." Notice of Apri/14, 1995, 60 Fed. Reg.
`20,195, at 20,209.
`
`The term "invention" is typically used to refer to subject matter which applicant is claiming in his/her application.
`Because claims are not required in a provisional application, it would not be appropriate to reference joint
`inventors as those who have made a contribution to the "invention" disclosed in the provisional application. If the
`"invention" has not been determined in the provisional application because no claims have been presented, then
`the name(s) of those person(s) who have made a contribution to the subject matter disclosed in the provisional
`application should be submitted. Section !.45(c) states that "if multiple inventors are named in a provisional
`application, each named inventor must have made a contribution, individually or jointly, to the subject matter
`disclosed in the provisional application." All that§ /.45(c) requires is that if someone is named as an inventor,
`that person must have made a contribution to the subject matter disclosed in the provisional application. When

`applicant has determined what the invention is by the filing of the 35 U.S. C. 1 ll(a) application, that is the time
`when the correct inventors must be named. The 35 U.S. C. lll(a) application must have an inventor in common
`with the provisional application in order for the 35 U.S. C. 111 (a) application to be entitled to claim the benefit of
`the provisional application under 35 U.S. C. 119(e). Notice of April 14, 1995, 60 Fed. Reg. 20,195, at 20,208.

`DOCKET NO.: U 017463-9
`
`Topical Vasoconstrictor Composition And Methods Of Using The Same
`
`- 1 -
`
`Cross-Reference To Related Application
`
`This invention is related to that described in application Serial No 61/137,714
`
`filed on August 1, 2008 the content of which is incorporated herein by reference.
`
`The present invention relates to a topical composition for effecting
`
`vasoconstriction and methods by which it may be employed, for example in administration to
`
`the eye and for treating nasal congestion.
`
`Background of the invention
`
`Dilation of small blood vessels, particularly arterioles, capillaries, and venules, ·
`
`causes numerous clinically undesirable events including: release of inflammatory substances,
`
`spread of pathogens, surface hemorrhage and hyperemia following Lasik surgery, eye redness
`
`(conjunctival hyperemia), nasal congestion (turbinate mucosal swelling secondary to
`
`vasodilation), skin discoloration (vasodilated induced "flushing", "rosacea, psoriasis" and
`
`other vascular abnormalities/telangiectasia), and hemorrhoidal swelling (venule dilation).
`
`Vascular constriction is known to be mediated by alpha adrenoreceptors, for
`
`which alpha agonists have specificity. Further the alpha class of receptors, has been further
`
`differentiated pharmacologically into alpha 1 and alpha 2 receptors, both of which have
`properties of vasoconstriction of vascular smooth muscle. The a.1-adrenoceptors are the
`predominant receptor locate
