Update to ex parte reexam transmittal form
USPTO
The "Request for Ex Parte Reexamination Transmittal Form" has been updated to provide greater clarity about the required fields of information. Registered practitioners who represent anonymous third-party requesters were incorrectly entering their own name and address on the old SB/57 form. The new SB/57 form corrects this issue by providing a new check box to designate when a request is being filed on behalf of an anonymous third-party requester.

EPO
This means that all time limits for filing documents and making payments that expire between 24 December 2025, and 1 January 2026 will be extended until 2 January 2026 (Rule 134(1) EPC). For PCT procedures, this applies mutatis mutandis (Rule 80.5 PCT). You can, however, continue to submit documents to the EPO during this period, preferably online via MyEPO services.
