clearly states that if applied contract under thirty seven within within the deletions within this paragraph but if so is the implied contract under thirty seven  far section one point one seven entitles the plaintiffs and the class to a monetary reward of a return of their official fees and reasonable attorney fees paid after their applications were designated associated with the sauce program or requests published that that is is referenced in my reply brief that has been has been analyzed by dr phil gallery but the patent office has not provided specific data about specific applications so we have not been we consider that your are that we thought claims to extend that or it would be too tenuous and we were very we wanted to have something that would be a bit associated with patent application process and he would like contracts that are associated with your honor the offer in this case would be the offer for the patent office to accept a patent application for examination and what is happening in stone that is based on thirty five us she was based on the regulation right it's what's based on the statute do you have any evidence for suggesting that a statue can create an implied in fact contract without any other acts by the contracting authority yes yes we have  well we didn't reference thirty five u s c will have been as as as the imp as as creating the implied contract reference thirty five u s c one point one seven which is the requirement of payment of fees by the after the application was designated in the sauce program and the pendency of the application was extended based on the right end of the designation and you're saying you don't know if you pay fees we know that we impact fees associated with being in the stalls program it's not as though you were required to file additional layers of information attach additional fees because of the songs program you're just sort of saying it's a matter of timing well meaning we paid of the application being in the soft program we would have requested suspension of the applications and that would have ceased the requirement to keep on paying fees that you would eventually have to pay those fees if you wanted a patent right we don't know that we that's a regulatory duty that is an implied in walking tract that's not an implied in fact contract you're just repeating statutory provisions and saying that by paying money in compliance with the statutory provisions contract has been created but the supreme court is make clear that implied in law contracts obligations based upon statute can't create an implied in fact contract how do you get around that what we how does a statutory regulatory provision give rise to an implied in fact contract director where the p t o or somewhere is that that you can point to that gives rise to an actual contract yes your honor if will is not to believe that the p g a director has has leeway to set all these fees and it up on  at some point that you know congress an act of that holstein maybe televisa enter into these agreements and things like that and so that's all based on statutes and regulations at least at some point but clearly we found that there of contract there too why isn't something like this where the p t o is not authorized to set up the scheme but then actually sets up a specific table of these and the like for individual examining cases an agreement to examine the cases in accordance with these things in exchange for money and if you breach you know your duties and stop that incurred images sure with a copy of that i'm not perfectly familiar with some of the the court or federal claims cases that you refer to of a statute itself right so we're not talking about a situation where there's some negotiation or bargaining or something that resembles traditional contract and we're not even talking about a situation where congress through statute has identified particular officials at the agency to have contracting authority we're talking about a situation where which i think is much more analogous to just a traditional you know permit granting situation where the agency is carrying out some tasks that congress assigned to it i think it's also important to recognize that in this case the actual provisions the that is that the obligations that the p t o is alleged to have failed in carrying out notice provisions and those it's very clear in this case arising entirely from
