APPLICANT HEREBY CERTIFIES THE FOLLOWING AND REQUESTS PRIORITIZED EXAMINATION FOR
THE ABOVE-IDENTIFIED APPLICATION.
1. The processing fee set forth in 37 CFR 1.17(i)(1) and the prioritized examination fee set forth in
37 CFR 1.17(c) have been filed with the request. The publication fee requirement is met
because that fee, set forth in 37 CFR 1.18(d), is currently $0. The basic filing fee, search fee,
and examination fee are filed with the request or have been already been paid. I understand
that any required excess claims fees or application size fee must be paid for the application.
2. I understand that the application may not contain, or be amended to contain, more than four
independent claims, more than thirty total claims, or any multiple dependent claims, and that
any request for an extension of time will cause an outstanding Track I request to be dismissed.
