`
`NOTICE
`
`This is a notice regarding your request for acceptance of a fee deficiency submission under 37
`CFR 1.28 filed October 11, 2016.
`
`On September 1, 1998, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit held that 37 CFR 1.28(c) is
`the sole provision governing the time for correction of the erroneous payment of the issue fee as
`a small entity. See DH Technology v. Synergystex International, Inc. 154 F.3d 1333, 47
`USPQ2d 1865 (Fed. Cir. Sept. 1, 1998).
`
`The Office no longer investigates or rejects original or reissue applications under 37 CFR 1.56.
`1098 Off. Gaz. Pat. Office 502 (January 3, 1989). Therefore, nothing in this Notice is intended
`to imply that an investigation was done.
`
`Your fee deficiency submission under 37 CFR 1.28 is hereby ACCEPTED.
`
`This application is no longer entitled to small entity status. Accordingly, all future fees paid in
`this application must be paid at the large entity rate.
`
`Telephone inquiries related to this communication should be directed to the undersigned at (571)
`272- 1642.
