On Jan. 25, the ninth
edition, Revision 08.2017, of the Manual of Patent Examining Procedure (MPEP) was made electronically available as an
update to the eMPEP.
The revision includes changes to
chapters 200, 700-1000, 1200, 1400, 1500, 1800, 2000-2300, 2500, and 2700. Each
section that has been substantively revised in this revision (published January
2018) has a revision indicator of [R-08.2017], meaning that the section has been
updated as of August 2017. Appendices L and R were revised to include the laws
and rules current as of Aug. 31, 2017, and Appendices T and AI were revised
to reflect the PCT Articles, Rules, and Administrative Instructions that were in force
effective July 1, 2017.
