Section Summary
MPEP § 311: “Filing of Notice of Arbitration Awards.”
This section explains the procedures and legal requirements for filing notice of arbitration awards that involve patents under 35 U.S.C. 294 and 37 CFR 1.335. It describes how parties to a patent dispute—such as the patentee, assignee, or licensee—must provide written notice to the Director when an arbitration award is issued or modified by a court. Each notice must identify the patent number, inventor, and patent owner, list all parties to the arbitration, and include a copy of the award or court order. The section emphasizes that an arbitration award concerning a patent has binding effect only between the parties involved and becomes enforceable only after the required notice has been filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. If the designated party fails to submit the notice, any other party to the arbitration may do so. All such notices are directed to the Office of the Solicitor, which is responsible for their processing.
