2409 Viability of Deposit

MPEP SECTION SUMMARY A deposit must be viable at the time of the deposit and throughout its term. This section covers more details on the viability of the deposit.

If the deposit is made under the Budapest Treaty (which requires that the deposit is tested for viability before it is accepted), a mere statement by an applicant that the deposit has been accepted under the Budapest Treaty will satisfy the viability requirements.
