NOTES
A CPA may only be filed in a design application but not in an international design application. A CPA cannot be filed in a utility or plant
application. See “Elimination of Continued Prosecution Application Practice as to Utility and Plant Applications; Final Rule,” 68 FR 32376
(May 30, 2003). Applicant may consider filing a Request for Continued Examination (RCE) under 37 CFR 1.114 in utility or plant applications.

application that is not to be abandoned.
ACCESS TO PRIOR APPLICATION: The filing of this CPA will be construed to include a waiver of confidentiality by the applicant under

application or applications in the file.
35 U.S.C. 120 STATEMENT: In a CPA, no reference to the prior application is needed in the Application Data Sheet (ADS). A request for
