Briefs in Appealed Applications
In view of the heavy backlog confronting the Board of
Appeals, consideration Is being given to every possibility for
simplifying the task of the Board. One suggestion is that
the Brief filed in appealed applications contain a description
of the pertinent portions of the references without including
any argument as to the pertinence of the references. Any
argument appellant wishes to advance should be set out In
a section of the Brief under the heading Arguments.
This Is the practice which Is already being followed In
the majority of Briefs. Since this format has proved to be
very helpful to the Examiner and the Board of Appeals, it Is
urged that it be followed in all Briefs.
The publication of this recommended procedure results
from an employee suggestion recently approved by the Incen-
tive Awards Committee.

Atomic Energy and NASA Cases-Procedure
Some applications have been received In which attempts
have been made to combine statements under section 152 of
the Atomic Energy Act as amended (42 U.S.C. 2182), or
section 305(c) of the National Aeronautics and Space Act
(42 U.S.C. 2457), with the oath of the application, by use of
printed oath forms containing very general allegations per-
taining to those statutes in addition to the averments re-
quired by Rule 65. Such forms have been used indiscrimi-
nately by some persons without regard to whether or not
the inventions disclosed in the applications have any actual
usefulness in the respective fields to which those statutes
relate. The practice is objectionable and should be discon-
tinued.
If an applicant has knowledge that an invention is useful
in the production or utilization of special nuclear material
or atomic energy, or if significant utility in the conduct of
aeronautical and space activities, he may submit a sworn
statement with the application, containing the information
required by the appropriate section of the statutes indicated,
or he may wait until such sworn statement is requested.
Such statement should, In accordance with Rule 4, be con-
tained In a separate paper and should be directed to the
attention of the Patent Security Division.   The use of
printed forms or the equivalent should be avoided since the
respective statutes require full facts. The filing of un-
requested statements in applications which are not known
to be useful in the fields indicated should be avoided, since
this Office Is obliged to regard such filing as an Indication of
actual usefulness In those fields, requiring the expense and
delay of forwarding copies of the statement and application
to the appropriate agencies.
