Should You Appeal? --- Success Rates Before PTAB on Individual Rejection Basis ---- A patent application filed in the United States (8) is examined by an Examiner at the USPTO (9). If allowed, a patent is granted (12), but if not, it may be rejected (10) such that the Applicant must choose an appeal (red box), an RCE, or a give-up. If the rejection is overcome, it will be allowed (12) such that a patent will be issued.  This seminar covers statistic results of appeals after the final rejections. 1) Decision Statistics for 35 U.S.C. § 112, Written Description Rejections 2) Decision Statistics for 35 U.S.C. § 112, Enablement Rejections  3) Decision Statistics for 35 U.S.C. § 112, Definiteness Rejections 4) Decision Statistics for 35 U.S.C. § 102(a) Rejections 5) Decision Statistics for 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) Rejections 6) Decision Statistics for 35 U.S.C. § 101 Rejections Those statistic data will give us some kind of insight on whether an appeal should be filed.
