Sec. 121.803  Are formal size determinations binding on parties?



    Size determinations by authorized SBA officials are formal actions, 

based upon a specific patent application pursuant to the rules of the 

Patent and Trademark Office, Department of Commerce, and are binding 

upon the parties. Other SBA opinions provided to patent applicants or 

others are only advisory, and are not binding or appealable.
