formal rejection

Rejection of a patent claim because of an error in format rather than substance.

• A formal rejection is actually an objection rather than a rejection, since it requires no substantive change in the claim.

— Also termed nonart rejection. [Cases: Patents 104. C.J.S. Patents §§ 145–147, 149–151, 173–175.]
