05-30-2017 RCEX Request for Continued Examination (RCE) PROSECUTION 3
05-30-2017 WFEE Fee Worksheet (SB06) PROSECUTION

What is a request for continued examination (RCE)?

Section 4403 of the “American Inventors Protection Act of 1999” amends 35 U.S.C. § 132 to provide, at the request of the applicant, for continued examination of an application for a fee (request for continued examination or RCE practice), without requiring the applicant to file a continuing application under 37 CFR 1.53(b) or a continued prosecution application (CPA) under 37 CFR 1.53(d).

To implement RCE practice, the Office has added 37 CFR 1.114 to provide a procedure under which an applicant may obtain continued examination of an application by filing a submission and paying a specified fee, even if the application is under a final rejection, appeal, or a notice of allowance.
