Patently-O Bits and Bytes No. 53

By Dennis Crouch, Esq.

ADVERTISEMENTS
  • Late Requests for Patent Term Extension: An earlier post noted that the PTO had rejected AstraZeneca’s request for a patent term extension because it was filed one day late. Interestingly in its filing, Astra found 14 other PTE requests that were filed on the 61st day and were still granted: 5,827,937 (RESTYLANE); 5,639,639 (Luveris); 5,532,221; 5,441,745; 4,941,093; 4,874,749; 4,836,217 (ALLERGEN PATCH); 4,830,010; 4,702,253; 4,513,006; etc.
  • The following histogram shows the distribution of patent term extensions granted by the PTO. The average extension is just over 2 1/2 years. The PTE list includes about 100 patents that would have expired already, but are still in force due to the extension. See http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/pac/dapp/opla/term/156.html.
