KEY to an effective/SmartIDS filing
  • file the least number of IDS’s;
  • at the least cost;
  • while insuring all references are considered by the examiner prior to a notice of allowance.

1: Take advantage of waived filing fees by filing timely IDS’s when possible:  IDS filing fees are waived for IDS’s filed prior to the first office action and for references cited in a counterpart foreign case within 3 months.

2:  Accumulate references in real time, but do not file an IDS until necessary: Filing fees are reduced by accumulating references before filing an IDS.

3:  File IDS’s as close to the notice of allowance as possible to avoid filing a continuation: By filing an IDS immediately after an applicant’s response, then periodically thereafter until there is either an office action or notice of allowance, most if not all references will be considered by the examiner prior to a notice of allowance, eliminating the need to file an RCE.

Frequently Asked Questions

The IDS process involves preparing and submitting an Information Disclosure Statement to the USPTO, listing prior art relevant to a patent application. It ensures the examiner is aware of all material references. Patent Drafting Catalyst offers expert IDS preparation services that simplify this process, ensuring accuracy and timely submission while maintaining full compliance with USPTO requirements to support smooth prosecution and avoid unnecessary delays or rejections.
The purpose of an information disclosure statement is to inform the USPTO of any known prior art or references relevant to the patentability of a claimed invention. Timely and accurate submission is crucial to fulfill the duty of disclosure. Patent Drafting Catalyst provides reliable information disclosure statement services, ensuring every reference is properly listed and formatted to reduce risk and streamline the prosecution process effectively.
An IDS should include bibliographic data of prior art references such as U.S. patents, foreign patents, and non-patent literature that may be relevant to the examination. Proper formatting and documentation are essential. Patent Drafting Catalyst’s IDS preparation service ensures all required documents are accurately listed and organized to meet USPTO guidelines, helping clients avoid errors and ensure a smooth examination process.
An IDS must be filed within specific timeframes during prosecution, usually within three months of a communication from the USPTO or before the first office action. Missing deadlines may result in additional fees or rejection. Patent Drafting Catalyst’s IDS filing service helps clients meet these critical timelines with precision, ensuring timely submission and full compliance with procedural rules to maintain application integrity.
Yes, an IDS can be filed after a notice of allowance, but it requires a certification or a petition with a fee, depending on when the information was discovered. Late submissions must follow strict requirements. Patent Drafting Catalyst’s IDS preparation service assists with proper documentation and filing even in post-allowance stages, helping applicants navigate complex rules and keep their applications fully compliant
