Does "Reasons for Allowance" status on USPTO mean my patent application is going to granted soon?
If I get "Reasons for Allowance," is there still a chance my patent could be rejected?
Yes, there is still a chance that your patent could be rejected even after receiving "Reasons for Allowance" status. This is because the patent has not yet been officially granted until all administrative tasks have been completed and all formalities satisfied. Additionally, a third party may still file a petition to protest your patent, which could result in rejection even after "Reasons for Allowance" status is granted.
