Definition and Examples
- Definition
- All actions associated with completing a continuing patent application (claiming priority to an earlier-filed, parent application in the same country, without adding any new disclosure) that are to be filed in the ("domestic") home country or region of the applicant, including review of parent application, drafting and execution of any formal documents (such as transmittals and information disclosure statements), filing of application, and reporting to the client. Includes Divisional and Reissue Applications, and Reexamination Requests. Also includes PCT National Phase entry where the parent PCT International Application was previously filed in the same country. For PCT National Phase entry in other (non-domestic or "international") countries, use PA500. Note that (so-called "continuation-in-part") patent applications extending the scope of the disclosure (or adding "new matter" in the U.S.) in an earlier-filed application are included under PA310- 340. Also note that government fees (and other "disbursements" in the U.S.) and external imaging expenses are included under E100.
