States? 

12. How would such a secrecy order 

regime affect international efforts 

toward a more harmonized patent 

system? 

13. Should the USPTO consider 

limiting what is published at 18 

months? 

This Notice also poses the following 

questions to determine the adequacy of 

the criteria used to place various 

technologies under secrecy orders for 

national security reasons. 

Questions on National Security-Based 

Secrecy Orders 

14. How should criteria currently 

used by United States defense agencies 

to screen patent applications for 

potential national security-based 

secrecy orders pursuant to 35 U.S.C. 181 

properly encompass the scope of 

invention, which may have a bearing on 

ensuring the United States maintains its 

technical advantages in defense-related 

fields? 

15. Are there examples where 

technologies that could relate to United 

States defense capabilities that were 

excluded from consideration for a 

secrecy order? 

16. What is the competitive cost to 

expanding the scope of the criteria used 

to screen applications for security order 

consideration? 

17. Among patent practitioners, is 

there a common practice of attempting 

to avoid consideration for a secrecy 

order by drafting the patent disclosure 

in such a way as to not raise national 

security implications of an invention?
