715.03(a)(2)(B) Time Remaining in Response Period
If the applicant has made a good-faith, but incomplete, attempt to comply, and there is more than 30 days remaining in the response period, the examining attorney must issue a "Request for Reconsideration Denied – No Appeal Filed - Time Remaining" (or, if appropriate, "SU - Request for Reconsideration Denied – No Appeal Filed - Time Remaining") that: (1) acknowledges the request for reconsideration; (2) indicates that it is denied and explains why it does not overcome or resolve the final refusal; (3) states that the final refusal is maintained; and (4) advises the applicant that the time for appeal runs from the issuance date of the final Office action. The examining attorney should advise the applicant that the applicant has the remainder of the response period to comply with any outstanding requirement and/or to file a notice of appeal to the Board. The Office action must not include a six-month response clause. See TMEP §705.08.
