USPTO Posts Draft Form SB206 for Commonly-Owned Patent Applications

According to Dennis Crouch at Patently-O, the USPTO recently made public its draft form SB206 for listing commonly owned applications and patents under the new rule 78(f) that takes effect on November 1, 2007.

. . . now, if only they would add a section to the IDS reference listing Form SB08A EFS-WEB for related subject matter applications that are not necessarily covered by rule 78(f), in order to allow applicants to (list in PAIR and) more-easily comply with Akron Polymer Container Corp. v. Exxel Container, Inc. (Fed. Cir. 1998), and perhaps even include other additional information in order to comply with McKesson Information Solutions v. Bridge Medical (May 18, 2007).
