During February 2022, the USPTO will launch a Deferred Subject Matter Eligibility Response (DSMER) Pilot Program for nonprovisional patent applications. Participants of the DSMER Pilot Program can defer engaging examiners on issues regarding subject matter until the patent application meets other patentability conditions. The USPTO will send invitations to participants whose applications meet the program’s requirements.
