¶ 15.75.01.fti C-I-P Caution, Claim to Foreign Priority in Earlier Filed Application - Status of Foreign Application Unknown 
Reference to this application as a continuation-in-part under 35 U.S.C. 120 is acknowledged. Applicant is advised that the design disclosed in the parent application is not the same design as the design disclosed in this application. Therefore, this application does not satisfy the written description requirement of 35 U.S.C. 112(a) or pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 112, first paragraph, under 35 U.S.C. 120 and is not entitled to benefit of the earlier filing date.
The parent application claimed foreign priority under 35 U.S.C. 119(a) -(d). Applicant is reminded that if the foreign application to which priority was claimed matured into a patent/registration before the filing of the present application and was filed more than six months before the filing date of the present application, the foreign patent/registration qualifies as prior art under pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 102(d) /35 U.S.C. 172.
Therefore, Applicant is requested to inform the Office of the status of the foreign application to which priority is claimed.
