In the context of patents, ‘request for continued examination’ means a submission filed in a patent application in which prosecution is closed. The request is filed to reopen prosecution, and continue examination. The request should be accompanied by the required fees. A request for continued examination may be filed when the application is under final rejection or a notice of allowance.
