2305.02 Time Limit Set for Presenting Suggested Claims
Where claims are suggested for interference, a limited period determined by the examiner, not less than one month, is set for reply. See MPEP § 710.02(c).
Should any one of the applicants fail to present the claim or claims suggested within the time specified, all claims not patentable thereover are rejected on the ground that the applicant has disclaimed the invention to which they are directed. If the applicant presents the suggested claims later they will be rejected on the same ground. See MPEP § 706.03(u).
