惟應注意,USPTO官網並未說明繳費加急後多久能拿到官方審核結果,若官方著手處理時情況已變、所提Petition已不適用或與案情無關,1.182 Petition被駁回不予考慮(dismissed as moot)亦不無可能,但即使如此,所繳1.182 Petition規費未必能退。
另外依USPTO說法,也不是每種Petition都需要額外花錢加提37 CFR 1.182 Petition,因為若USPTO已作成Petition決定後要請求官方再考慮(petition requesting reconsideration of a petition decision),又或要請USPTO上級介入重審TC Director決定(petition to request supervisory review of a group director decision),這類Petition依USPTO內規就是需盡快處理,毋須再提1.182 Petition。
