Did you ever notice? Official notice in rejections
Article Abstract:
The doctrine of official notice may be involved when the US Patent & Trademark Office (PTO) rejects a patent application. Official notice has two rationales: to promote administrative efficiency and to take advantage of the PTO's technical expertise. Official notice may be taken either of widely notorious facts or of facts capable of prompt and indisputable verification. PTO Examiners should refrain from relying on official notice unless applicants have been forewarned.
