Ex parte Quayle, 25 USPQ 74, 1935 C.D. 11; 453 O.G. 213
(Comm'r Pat. 1935) is a United States patent law decision. When a patent application is in condition for
allowance, prosecution on the merits is closed.
At this time, further
amendments of the patent application are allowed only to correct formal
objections, which typically include minor and obvious mistakes. The
presence of such formal objections precludes the full closing of prosecution;
therefore, in these situations, the United States Patent and Trademark
Office (USPTO) issues an Ex parte Quayle Office action
requesting the applicant to correct the formal objections.[1]
An Ex parte Quayle action
has a shortened statutory period for reply that expires two months from the
mailing date of the action. This period can be extended by four additional
months for up to a total period for reply of six months (with proper extensions
and fees).
