An office action is a notice from the United States Patent Office that describes why claims of your utility patent application are rejected, objected to, or allowable. Generally, you must respond to a patent office action within 3 months from the mailing date printed on its cover page. You can retroactively extend this deadline until a total of 6 months of the mailing date of the patent office action. If you fail to respond within this time period, your utility patent application is deemed abandoned. You have to be careful in responding to office actions to avoid making statements that might later be used against your patent application.
In the Standard Package, Patent Express provides an easy to follow workflow so that you can prepare and file an office action response yourself.
