What is an RCE?
An RCE is a request for continued examination. An RCE can be used to continue examination of a patent application after the United States Patent and Trademark Office has issued a final rejection. Filing an RCE requires an additional fee, similar to the initial filing fee, but allows the applicant to continue to pursue a patent on an application for which the patent office has closed prosecution.
