应为Ex Parte Quayle
请看Wikipedia 给出的定义：
Ex parte Quayle, 25 USPQ 74, 1935 C.D. 11; 453 O.G. 213 (Comm\'r Pat. 1935) is a United States patent law decision. When an application is in condition for allowance, prosecution on the merits is closed. Further amendment is limited to \"formal matters\" - usually, correction of minor and obvious mistakes. The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) issues Ex parte Quayle Office action to request the applicant to correct these \"formal matters\" which preclude fully closing the prosecution.
申请在获得授权之前，仅限于做一些形式上的修改，这时，USPTO就会发出OA通知审请人进行改正这些会影响做出授权决定结果的错误。 |
