Termination
Proceedings:
In each of the following situations, proceedings are terminated:
(A)
When the issue fee is not paid and the application is abandoned for
failure to pay the issue fee, proceedings are terminated as of the date
the issue fee was due and the application is the same as if it were
abandoned after midnight on that date (but if the issue fee is later
accepted, on petition, the application is revived).
(B)
If an application is in interference wherein all the claims present in
the application correspond to the counts and the application loses the
interference as to all the claims, then proceedings on that application
are terminated as of the date appeal or review by civil action was due
if no appeal or civil action was filed.
(C)
Proceedings are terminated in an application after decision by the Board
of Patent Appeals and Interferences.
(D)
Proceedings are terminated after a decision by the court.
