Foreign Priority of Continuing Applications
If the Examiner is aware of the fact that the parent of a
continuing application has fully complied with the require-
ments of 35 U.S.C. 119 and is therefore entitled to the benefit
of the filing date of an earlier filed foreign application, he
should direct it to the applicant's attention in an Office action,
as in the following exemplary language:
Applicant is reminded that in order to be entitled to
priority based on papers filed in parent application Serial
No. ----------- under 35 U.S.C. 119, a claim for such
priority must be made in this application. In making
such claim, applicant may simply call attention to the
fact that a certified copy of the foreign application is in
the parent application (M.P.E.P. 201.14(b)).

Rules of Practice in Patent Cases
[37 CFR Part 1]
Proposed Changes Relating to Formal Requirements for
Application Papers and Amendments
The Patent Office proposes to change some of its rules re-
lating to formal requirements of application papers and
amendments. The proposed changes are intended to accom-
plish a number of important purposes, namely, (1) to permit
the utilization by applicants and the Patent Office of advanced
technology relating to drawing processes and materials, (2)
to permit the possibility of the Office printing patents in the
future by improved printing techniques, and (3) to harmonize
on an international basis the formalities relating to the physi-
cal requirements of patent specifications and drawings.
Therefore, under the authority contained in section 6 of the
Act of July 19, 1952 (66 Stat. 792; 35 U.S.C. 6), notice is
hereby given that the Patent Office proposes to amend Part 1
of Title 37 of the Code of Federal Regulations as follows:
1. By revising j 1.52 to read as follows:
I 1.52 Language, paper, writing, margins.
(a) The petition, specification, claims, abstract, oath or
declaration and drawing legends must be in the English lan-
guage. The petition, specification, claims, and abstract should
commence on separate pages. The oath or declaration may
appear with the petition or on a separate page. All papers of
an application, including the drawing, must be the same
size and be 8%-8% inches wide by 11%-13 inches high. All
papers, other than the drawings, which are to become a part
of the permanent records of the Patent Office must be type-
