A Client Success Story: Patent Allowance Without an RCE

A foreign inventor engaged Jong Patent Firm after receiving a Final Office Action on a U.S. patent application he had prepared and filed himself. Although his specification and drawings were reasonably well prepared, his claims and subsequent amendments did not fully comply with USPTO requirements. Despite considerable patience and guidance from the Patent Examiner, the inventor was unable to resolve the remaining deficiencies.

After reviewing the prosecution history, we worked directly with the Examiner to address the outstanding issues and brought the application to allowance without filing a Request for Continued Examination (RCE). This avoided the additional RCE filing fee and the prosecution costs and delays that continued examination could have involved.

Pleased with the result, the inventor subsequently entrusted us with a second application that he had also filed himself. For that application, we prepared a petition to correct a priority claim and preliminary amendments addressing deficiencies in the claims and drawings. This experience illustrates how experienced representation can potentially save inventors time and money by resolving problems efficiently and avoiding unnecessary prosecution steps. Results depend on the circumstances of each application, and similar outcomes cannot be guaranteed.

Why Choose Jong Patent Firm?

Experience and Direct Examiner Communication

Our firm’s principal has been a USPTO-registered patent practitioner since 2005, bringing over 20 years of U.S. patent prosecution experience. We understand that obtaining a patent requires more than a technically sound invention. Properly drafted claims, compliant submissions, and effective prosecution strategies can make a substantial difference in the time and expense involved.

We place particular emphasis on communicating directly with Patent Examiners when appropriate. Examiner interviews can help clarify objections, resolve technical misunderstandings, discuss proposed amendments, and identify practical paths toward allowance. Our approach emphasizes efficient problem-solving, avoiding unnecessary rounds of prosecution, and preserving commercially meaningful claim scope.

Native Chinese Communication and Engineering Expertise

Our firm’s principal is a native Chinese speaker and a New York State-licensed Professional Engineer (P.E.). For Chinese-speaking inventors and engineering teams, this combination allows complex technical concepts to be discussed directly in Chinese, reducing potential misunderstandings associated with translation.

Engineering expertise also helps us understand how inventions operate, recognize technical distinctions, and develop clearer disclosures and claim strategies. Chinese-speaking clients benefit from communicating directly with a patent practitioner who understands both their language and their technology.
