Re: [PIUG List] Request for sample search report

Mr. Wallace,

Recent file prosecution records are available from the USPTO via the PAIR s=
ystem. This would give you an example of an examiners search strategy in j=
ust about any technology you choose. Applicants who request accelerated ex=
amination also must submit a detailed search strategy that becomes part of =
the public record. I am sure computer software is a popular art area for a=
ccelerated exam requests.

If you have an recent interesting patent in mind, plug it into the PAIR sit=
e:
