On March 31, 2020, the USPTO announced that it is
permitting applicants, for delays that are based on the ongoing
COVID-19 emergency in the United States, to request a 30-day
extension of the time allowed to file certain documents and to pay
certain fees. We provided an
explanation of this announcement when it was published. Since
then, the USPTO provided a form to be used for
the "statement of delay" required in claiming a
COVID-19-related filing extension. Extensions were originally
applicable to due dates falling between March 27 and April 30. The
USPTO, on April 28, 2020, extended the
applicable period for due dates to June 1, 2020.
