USPTO Alert

New combined petition option to facilitate participation in the expanded Collaborative Search Pilot program

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) published a Federal Register Notice announcing a new combined petition option that will make it easier to participate in the expanded Collaborative Search Pilot (CSP) program. The USPTO collaborated with its counterpart offices, the Japan Patent Office (JPO) and the Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO), to develop combined petition forms that applicants will file in only one of the partner intellectual property (IP) offices, rather than filing separate petitions in both partner IP offices. The expanded CSP program is designed to accelerate examination and provide the applicant with more comprehensive prior art by combining the search expertise of examiners at the USPTO and the JPO or the KIPO before the first office action is issued.

The full text of the notice is available on the Patent Related Notices webpage. Please see the USPTO’s CSP webpage for more information about the expanded CSP program.

IRS reminds taxpayers an extension to file is not an extension to pay taxes

ssue Number: Tax Tip 2022-47

IRS reminds taxpayers an extension to file is not an extension to pay taxes

For most individual taxpayers the tax filing and payment deadline is Monday, April 18, 2022. Those who need more time to file can request an extension to file. Taxpayers must request an extension to file by April 18, or they may face a failure to file penalty. This extension gives them until October 17 to file their tax return. An extension to file is not an extension to pay.

Most taxpayers must pay taxes by April 18 to avoid penalties and interest on the amount owed after that date. Taxpayers in Maine and Massachusetts have until April 19 to pay to file their returns due to the Patriots’ Day holiday in those states.

How to request an extension to file
To get an extension to file, the IRS urges taxpayers to do one of the following:

File Form 4868 through their tax professional, tax software or by using IRS Free File on IRS.gov. Individual taxpayers, regardless of income, can use Free File to electronically request an automatic tax-filing extension.
Submit an electronic payment with Direct Pay, Electronic Federal Tax Payment System or by debit, credit card or digital wallet and select Form 4868 or extension as the payment type. Taxpayers don’t need to file Form 4868 when making an electronic payment and indicating it’s for an extension. The IRS will automatically count it as an extension.

Some taxpayers may have extra time to file their tax returns and pay any taxes due. This includes some disaster victims, taxpayers living overseas, including members of the military, and eligible support personnel serving in combat zones.
