Each item of information contained in the IDS was first cited in any communication from a foreign
patent office in a counterpart foreign application not more than three months prior to the filing of the IDS.
See 37 CFR 1.97(e)(1).
OR
No item of information contained in the IDS was cited in a communication from a foreign patent office
in a counterpart foreign application, and, to the knowledge of the person signing the certification after
making reasonable inquiry, no item of information contained in the IDS was known to any individual
designated in 37 CFR 1.56(c) more than three months prior to the filing of the IDS. See 37 CFR
1.97(e)(2).
OR
See attached certification statement in compliance with 37 CFR 1.97(e).

A Petition to Withdraw from Issue After Payment of the Issue Fee (37 CFR 1.313(c)(2)), including the
petition fee set forth in 37 CFR 1.17(h), is submitted herewith as a Web-based ePetition.
WARNING: Do not submit the petition as a follow-on paper via EFS-Web. Submit the petition as a Web-
based ePetition by s igning on to EFS‐Web as a registered user, selecting the radio button next to
“Existing application/patent,” and then selecting the radio button next to “ePetition (for automatic
processing and immediate grant, if all petitions requirements are met).” Failure to use the Web-based
ePetition interface will result in automatic entry of the RCE.
5.
A request for continued examination (RCE) under 37 CFR 1.114 and the RCE fee under 37 CFR 1.17(e)
are submitted herewith.
6.
The RCE will be treated as a “conditional” RCE. In the event the examiner determines that any item of
information contained in the IDS necessitates the reopening of prosecution in the application, the
undersigned understands that (i) the RCE will be processed and treated as an RCE under 37 CFR 1.114
and therefore (ii) the IDS fee under 37 CFR 1.17(p) will be returned in accordance with
37 CFR 1.97(b)(4). In the event that no item of information in the IDS necessitates reopening prosecution,
the undersigned understands that the RCE will not be processed and the RCE fee under 37 CFR 1.17(e)
will be returned.
7.
This certification and request is being filed as a Web-based ePetition and is not accompanied by an
amendment to the application. Inclusion of an amendment will result in automatic entry of the RCE.
