¶ 26.11 Informal Respondent Brief-Period for Response Under 37 CFR 41.68 (c)
Respondent, [1] is required to comply with the provisions of 37 CFR 41.68 (a) and (b) and to correct all defects noted in this letter as to the respondent brief. Respondent [2] is given a period of ONE MONTH from the date of this letter for filing an amended complete respondent brief. If an amended complete brief that fully complies with the requirements of this letter is not timely submitted, the respondent brief will not be formally received into the record and will not be considered. THE PERIOD FOR RESPONSE SET IN THIS LETTER CANNOT BE EXTENDED. 37 CFR 41.68 (c).
Examiner Note:
1. In brackets 1 and 2, fill in either "the patent owner" or "the third party requester" .
2. In the case of the respondent brief, the new one month period will always extend longer than the original one month period, thus the longer of the two need not be given, as was done in form paragraph 26.10 where the original period for the appellant brief is two months.
