I just received a RFE letter from TSC after waiting for 15 months (I filed my petition to CSC in last Sept., then is was transffered to TSC in this March). The officer #171 asked many detailed evidences, I pasted here for your comments and suggestion. Thank you ever so much for your help.
=================================================================
Concerning petitioner’s work with the transmembrane fusion gene and the sustained release of p53 gene and Taxol, how does the petitioner’s work compare to others in this field?
Have experts in the field recognized these findings and employed them?? Have others used his findings, such as cancer centers like Sloan-Kettering, the Mayo Clinic, MD Anderson, John Hopkins, or Dana Faber?
The web site of the National Cancer Institute indicates p53 is the subject of numerous other researchers.
Concerning the evidence of petitioner’s patent, please provide proof of distribution or publication on a national scale.
Petitioner cities numerous memberships in professional groups in his curriculum vitae. Please explain what are the characteristics of these groups that justify a national interest waiver.
Petitioner cites awards he has won in China. Has he won any awards in United States? If so, what were they, what were the selection criteria, who were the judges, and how do they establish the petitioner a being worthy of a national interest waiver?
Petitioner presents letters of support from numerous sources. However, in most cases they already knew the petitioner or came to know him when approached for assisting with this petition. Can the petitioner present any letters of support from noted cancer researchers to whom the petitioner was already well- known, simply on the basis of his work?
Please the requested information within twelve (12) weeks from the date of this letter. Failure to do so may result in denial of your petition.
Sincerely,
Evelyn M. Upchurch, Director
Texas Service Center
Officer 171
