A quick definition of declaration after final rejection:
A declaration after final rejection is a written statement of facts that is sworn to by the person making the statement before an authorized officer. It is often used in patent applications after the application has been rejected. It is also sometimes used in pretrial matters in court cases. A counteraffidavit is an affidavit made to contradict and oppose another affidavit.
A more thorough explanation:
A declaration after final rejection is a sworn statement submitted to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office after an application's final rejection. It is also known as an affidavit after final rejection. This document is used to provide additional evidence or arguments to overcome the final rejection of a patent application.
For example, if a patent examiner has rejected a patent application, the applicant may submit a declaration after final rejection to provide new evidence or arguments to support their case. This document must be sworn to by the declarant before an officer authorized to administer oaths, such as a notary public.
