1305 Jurisdiction [R-2] - 1300 Allowance and Issue
1305 Jurisdiction [R-2]
Jurisdiction of the application remains with the primary examiner until the Notice of Allowance is mailed. However, the examiner may make examiner's amendments correcting obvious errors, as when brought to the attention of the examiner by the printer, and also may admit amendments under 37 CFR 1.312 which are confined to matters of form in the specification or claims, or to the cancellation of a claim or claims. The examiner's action on other amendments under 37 CFR 1.312 consists of a recommendation to the *>Director<.
To regain jurisdiction over the application, the examiner must write a letter to the *>Director< requesting it. See MPEP § 1308 and § 1308.02.
Once the patent has been granted, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office can take no action concerning it, except as provided in 35 U.S.C. 135, 35 U.S.C. 251 through 256, 35 U.S.C. 302 through 307 and 35 U.S.C. 311 through 316.
