SSP

Term: SSP

Definition: Shortened Statutory Period is a time period which an examiner may set (generally two months) during which an applicant must supply the omission to the previous reply to avoid abandonment. This is typically invoked when a bona fide attempt to reply to an office action includes an inadvertent omission that precludes action on the merits of the application.
