In yesterday’s Federal Register, the USPTO announced that it has extending its comment window regarding deferred examination "to provide interested members of the public with an additional opportunity to view the Webcast before submitting comments to the USPTO." As previously reported in the DDIP blog, on February 12, 2009, the USPTO hosted a roundtable event to discuss the topic of deferred patent examination, providing a select number of public representatives the opportunity to participate and share their views on examination deferrals. The roundtable, now available via webcast on the USPTO website (see link below, noting that no audio is available for the first two minutes of the webcast), was conducted to determine whether or not there was support in the patent community regarding deferred patent applications. The window for providing comments has been extended to May 29, 2009.
