USPTO MPEP › Chapter 1100 - Statutory Invention Registration (SIR); Pre-Grant Publication (PGPub) and Preissuance Submissions › MPEP § 1127
Text
Applicants will be informed of the projected publication date assigned to
the application on the filing receipt. The Office will not mail a paper copy of the patent
application publication to the applicant, but will mail a “Notice of Publication” to the
applicant indicating that the application has been published when the application is
published. Copies of patent application publications are available on the USPTO website
(
www.uspto.gov
).
A “Notice of New or Revised Publication Date” may be mailed if the
publication date changes by more than six weeks due to processing delays, if a secrecy
order is removed, or subsequent to the revival of an abandoned application. If applicant
timely adds or deletes a benefit or priority claim and the Office recognizes the correction
and changes the projected publication date before the technical preparations of the
application have begun, the Office will mail a notice (e.g., a corrected filing receipt),
informing applicant of the newly assigned projected publication date.
