`
`
`When this Application Data Sheet is properly signed and filed with the application, applicant has provided written
`authority to permit a participating foreign intellectual property (IP) office access to the instant application—as-filed (see
`paragraph A in subsection 1 below) and the European Patent Office (EPO) access to any search results from the instant
`application (see paragraph B in subsection 1 below).
`
`Should applicant choose not to provide an authorization identified in subsection 1 below, applicant must opt-out of the
`authorization by checking the corresponding box A or B or both in subsection 2 below.
`
`NOTE: This section of the Application Data Sheet is ONLY reviewed and processed with the INITIAL filing of an
`application. After the initial filing of an application, an Application Data Sheet cannot be used to provide or rescind
`authorization for access by a foreign IP office(s). Instead, Form PTO/83139 or PTO/SB/BQ must be used as appropriate.
`
`1. Authorization to Permit Access by a Foreign Intellectual Property Office(s)
`
`
`A. Priority Document Exchange (PDX1— Unless box A in subsection 2 (opt-out of authorization) is checked, the
`
`undersigned hereby grants the USPTO authority to provide the European Patent Office (EPO), the Japan Patent Office
`(JPO), the Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO), the State Intellectual Property Office of the People's Republic of
`China (SIPO), the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), and any other foreign intellectual property office
`participating with the USPTO in a bilateral or multilateral priority document exchange agreement in which a foreign
`application claiming priority to the instant patent application is filed, access to: (1) the instant patent application-as-filed
`and its related bibliographic data, (2) any foreign or domestic application to which priority or benefit is claimed by the
`instant application and its related bibliographic data, and (3) the date of filing of this Authorization. See 37 CFR 1.14(h)
`(1).
`
`
`B. Search Results from U.S. Application to EPO - Unless box B in subsection 2 (opt-out of authorization) is checked,
`
`the undersigned hereby grants the USPTO authority to provide the EPO access to the bibliographic data and search
`results from the instant patent application when a European patent application claiming priority to the instant patent
`application is filed. See 37 CFR 1.14(h)(2).
`
`The applicant is reminded that the EPO’s Rule 141(1) EPC (European Patent Convention) requires applicants to submit a
`copy of search results from the instant application without delay in a European patent application that claims priority to
`the instant application.
`
`2. Opt-Out of Authorizations to Permit Access by a Foreign Intellectual Property Office(s)
`
`|:|
`
`|:|
`
`A. Applicant DOES NOT authorize the USPTO to permit a participating foreign IP office access to the instant
