NOTES:

Selected prosecution files typically contain at least a non-final rejection and enough related documents to determine whether the prosecution history is relevant to the matter you are researching. Selected documents from the prosecution history are merged into one pdf document. If the prosecution history is considered relevant to your research, you may download the pdf document. If additional documents from the prosecution history are needed, then the complete prosecution history file is available at the United States Patent and Trademark Office patent center website.
