User feedback identified some errors, so we have corrected those errors and used the opportunity to make some further changes.
The most noticeable change is the document’s structure. We have divided the examination practice content into four individual parts. They are as follows:
- part A: Introduction
- part B: Alphabetical list of examination practice
- part C: Notifications
- part D: Overcoming objections
None of the revisions establishes any major changes in examination practice and procedure.
Later this year we will change the format of the Manual from a PDF format to a website-orientated format to match our Manual of Patent Practice and the Registered Designs Examination Practice Guide.
If you have any feedback please contact the manual editor.
