52 tables
From Patentbarquestions
Question on submitting 52 tables in CD-ROM. 52 tables were divided into two portions; 1-26 and 27-52.
Is this proper? Question about having lots of small tables in your spec. One of the answer choices
includes that CD-ROM have to be submitted in duplicate. However, I believe this answer to be misleading
because only tables LONGER than 50 pages can be submitted on compact disk.
- 37 CFR 1.52. Language, paper, writing, margins, compact disc specifications.
- [...]
- (4) Any compact disc must be submitted in duplicate unless it contains only the “Sequence Listing” in
- computer readable form required by § 1.821(e). The compact disc and duplicate copy must be labeled
- “Copy 1” and “Copy 2,” respectively.
- 608.05(b) < Compact Disc Submissions of Large Tables [R-2]
- A single table contained on fifty pages or less must be submitted either as drawings (in compliance with
- 37 CFR 1.84) or as part of the specification in paper (in compliance with 37 CFR 1.52). A single table
- contained on 51 pages or more may be submitted on a CD-ROM or CD-R (in compliance with 37 CFR 1.52(e)
- and 37 CFR 1.58). The presentation of a subheading to divide a large table into smaller sections of less than
- 51 pages should not be used to prevent an applicant from submitting the table on a compact disc unless the
- subdivided tables are presented as numerous files on the compact disc so as to lose their relationship to
- the overall large table.
