Allowed notice of allowance not yet mailed
A very specific and technical phrase!
"Allowed notice of allowance not yet mailed" is a status update that typically appears in the Patent Office's (USPTO) Patent Application Information Retrieval (PAIR) system or other patent office databases.
Here's what it means:
- "Allowed" means that the patent examiner has reviewed the patent application and has determined that it meets the requirements for patentability. This is a significant milestone in the patent application process, as it indicates that the invention is novel, non-obvious, and meets the other requirements for patentability.
- "Notice of allowance" is a formal document that the USPTO sends to the patent applicant to inform them that the patent application has been allowed. This document typically includes the details of the allowed claims, as well as any conditions or requirements that must be met before the patent can be granted.
- "Not yet mailed" means that the notice of allowance has not yet been physically mailed to the patent applicant. This is likely because the patent office has not yet printed and mailed the document, or because the applicant has not yet received it.
In general, this status update indicates that the patent application is nearing the end of the examination process, and that the patent applicant can expect to receive the notice of allowance soon.
