S&H Practice TIP: 30-Day IDS Optional Benefit of Additional PTA Days

The USPTO is required to extend or reduce the 20-year patent term from the application filing date when the delay was caused by the USPTO under the patent term adjustment (PTA) system created by the U.S. Congress. The PTA also accounts for the Applicant”™s delay and reduces the PTA term (but not the original 20-year patent term) if any PTA term is granted.
