`
`T0 INVOKE SUPERVISORY
`AUTHORITY UNDER
`37 CFR §1.181(a)(3)
`
`This is a decision on Applicant’s petition filed on April 12, 2019 requesting the Can-Imissioner
`invoke his supervisory authority to compel the Examiner to consider Documents (A0) and (AW)
`cited in an Information Disclosure Statement (IDS) filed March 1 1, 2019.
`
`The petition is DISMISSED as MOOT.
`
`A review of the application file reveals that on April 30, 2019 a PTO-90C form indicating
`wherein the Examiner considered the IDS submitted on March 1 1, 2019 and an annotated copy
`of the IDS indicating wherein all references were considered were mailed to Applicant.
`
`As the IDS, filed March I 1, 2019, containing documents (A0) and (AW), has already been
`cousidered by the Examiner, the petition is DISSMISSED as MOOT.
`
`Any inquiry regarding this decision should be directed to Lanna Mai, Quality Assurance
`Specialist, at (571) 272-6867.
