1127 Notice of Publication [R-08.2012]

Applicants will be informed of the projected publication date assigned to the application on the filing receipt. The Office will not mail a paper copy of the patent application publication to the applicant, but will mail a “Notice of Publication” to the applicant indicating that the application has been published when the application is published. Copies of patent application publications are available on the USPTO website (www.uspto.gov).

A “Notice of New or Revised Publication Date” may be mailed if the publication date changes by more than six weeks due to processing delays, if a secrecy order is removed, or subsequent to the revival of an abandoned application. If applicant timely adds or deletes a benefit or priority claim and the Office recognizes the correction and changes the projected publication date before the technical preparations of the application have begun, the Office will mail a notice (e.g., a corrected filing receipt), informing applicant of the newly assigned projected publication date.
