TC 1600 Filings and Restrictions
TC1600 mails out about 28,000 first actions on the merits each year and about 12,000 restriction requirements
Of about 12,000 restriction requirements mailed per year, only about 75 are petitioned
21% of TC1600 cases are filed under 35 U. S. C. 371 (i.e., the national stage of a PCT application), yet 371 applications account for about 30% of the petitions
on average, a 91 day turnaround time to mail decision for a restriction petition
