Close a Response Package (.rpr) File

  1. Select the Close option from the File menu in any Rowan Patents Window


    OR type Ctrl+W (Cmd-W for Mac users) on your keyboard.


    OR close all windows open for the response package as described below.


  2. If you have unsaved changes, click Save, Discard Changes, or Cancel in the dialog presented.



    Note that we autosave a temporary recovery copy in case your computer or Rowan Patents crashes, but that temporary file will be discarded when you close your response package following these steps.

Closing Rowan Patents Windows

Rowan Patents Integrated Drafting Environment windows are all provided with a typical close button, as is standard with your operating system.


  • Closing the landing screen window used to create and open Rowan Patents files will NOT close the response package file.

  • Closing any one of multiple open workspace windows displaying Rowan prosecution workspaces will NOT close the response package file.

  • Closing an open Tools window will NOT close the response package file.

  • Closing the only open workspace window displaying a response package WILL close the package file.
