Notice of Allowance Review

Once a Notice of Allowance issues, the application is no longer reviewed by the examiner. This is the last practical opportunity to fix an error before it becomes a defect baked into a granted, publicly enforceable patent, correctable afterward only through a Certificate of Correction, reissue, or reexamination. We apply a structured, checklist-driven review to the complete Image File Wrapper the moment an NOA is received: bibliographic, inventor, and priority data; the allowed claim set, outstanding IDS and terminal disclaimer gaps, and Patent Term Adjustment, so your attorneys make the pay-the-issue-fee decision with full visibility into the application's condition.
