Code of Federal Regulations Title 35 - Reserved
Title 35 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) is currently designated as "[RESERVED]".
This means that while a Title 35 once existed, its contents have either been removed, moved to other parts of the CFR, or the regulations it contained are no longer in effect.
Historically, Title 35 of the CFR dealt with regulations related to the Panama Canal. The U.S. controlled the Panama Canal Zone from 1904 until 1999, when control was fully handed over to Panama following the Torrijos–Carter Treaties. As a result, the U.S. federal regulations concerning the Panama Canal became obsolete. Title 35 last appeared with content in the 2000 revision of the CFR and has since been withdrawn.
It's important not to confuse Title 35 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) with Title 35 of the United States Code (U.S.C.).
Title 35 U.S.C. is a very active and important part of federal statutory law, dealing exclusively with Patents. This title outlines all aspects of patent law in the United States, including the establishment of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), patentability requirements, patent application procedures, and enforcement of patent rights.
So, when you see "Title 35 - Reserved" in the Code of Federal Regulations, it simply means that there are no current federal regulations formally codified under that specific title number.
