¶ 15.66.01 Employ Services of Professional Patent Draftsperson (Design Application Only)
As the value of a design patent is largely dependent upon the skillful preparation of the drawings, applicant might consider it desirable to employ the services of a professional patent draftsperson familiar with design practice. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office cannot aid in the selection of a draftsperson.
Examiner Note:
This form paragraph should only be used in pro se applications where it appears that patentable subject matter is present and the disclosure of the claimed design complies with the requirements of 35 U.S.C. 112.
