705.01(d) Duplicate Prints of Drawings [R-2]
In Patentability Report applications having drawings, the examiner to whom the case is assigned will furnish to the Technology Center (TC) to which the application is referred, prints of such sheets of the drawings as are applicable, for interference search purposes. >For Image File Wrapper (IFW) processing, see IFW Manual section 3.1.< That this has been done may be indicated by a pencil notation on the file wrapper. >For Image File Wrapper (IFW) processing, see IFW Manual.<
When an application that has had Patentability Report prosecution is passed for issue or becomes abandoned, NOTIFICATION of this fact will AT ONCE be given by the TC having jurisdiction of the application to each TC that submitted a Patentability Report. The examiner of each such reporting TC will note the date of allowance or abandonment on the duplicate set of prints. At such time as these prints become of no value to the reporting TC, they may be destroyed.
