`ISSUE NOTIFICATION
`
`Determination of Patent Term Extension or Adjustment under 35 U.S.C. 154 (b)
`
`Design patents have a term measured from the issue date of the patent and the term remains the same length
`regardless of the time that the application for the design patent was pending. Since the above-identified
`application is an application for a design patent,
`the patent is not eligible for Patent Term Extension or
`Adjustment under 35 U.S.C. 154(b).
`
`Any questions regarding the Patent Term Extension or Adjustment determination should be directed to the
`Office of Patent Legal Administration at (571)-272-7702. Questions relating to issue and publication fee
`payments should be directed to the Customer Service Center of the Office of Patent Publication at
`(571)-272-4200.
