Via the link in the article to: Revision to Rules of Practice Before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board

It would be nice to have some confirmation, but I'm assuming there was an extension.

Given that EFF and the comment form at regulations.gov cite Dec 2nd.

In any case, I'm filing my comment now, and encouraging others to do so as well.

Anyone who's ever been through any kind of patent process should understand just how egregious this is...



There was an extension. I don't have link handy, but an extra 15 days were provided.


After you click the "SUBMIT A PUBLIC COMMENT" button (on the page you linked), you then see a message that says, "Comments are due 12/02/2025 at 11:59 pm EST."

I think a better UI design would be to show that info before you press the button, but my main point is that they are apparently still accepting comments.
