`: DECISION ON PETITION
`: REGARDING REQUEST TO
`: CONSIDER INFORMATION
`: DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
`:
`UNDER 37 CFR 1.181(A)(3)
`-
`
`This is in response to applicant’s petition under 37 CFR 1.181 (A)(3) filed July 10, 2019
`requesting the Commissioner to invoke his supervisory authority to require the Examiner to
`consider the Information Disclosure Statements filed August 24, 2017 and November 9, 2017.
`
`The petition is DISMISSED AS MOOT.
`
`A review of the record reveals that Applicant filed Information Disclosure Statements on
`August 24, 2017 and November 9, 2017. The examiner initially acknowledged the
`Information Disclosure Statements on October 10, 2017 and November 16, 2017,
`respectively, but did not specify that the references were considered. However, since the
`filing of the petition, the Information Disclosure Statements were acknowledged as
`considered and made of record on August 2, 2019. Therefore, Applicant’s requested relief
`has been given. The petition is thus DISMISSED as being moot.
`
`Any questions regarding this decision should be directed to Shadi Baniani, Quality Assurance
`Specialist, at (571) 270-5745.
