Continuations: A design application can be a continuation of a prior design application. 2. Continuations-in-part: A design application can be a CIP of a prior design application if it adds new matter.
Continuation Application: If you initially file a utility patent application and later realize the design aspect is also critical, you can file a design patent application as a continuation. This allows you to claim the benefit of the earlier filing date of the utility patent.
A continued prosecution application continues the patent process after a rejection. Without filing the application, you will not receive a design patent. There is no guarantee the continued prosecution application will be accepted, but it is the only way to continue the process without filing a new application.
A request for continued examination (RCE) under 37 CFR 1.114 is available for a reissue application for reissue of a utility or plant patent filed on or after June 8, 1995. This applies even where the application, which resulted in the original patent, was filed before June 8, 1995.
A Request for Continued Examination (RCE) may only be filed in utility and plant applications, while RCE is not available for design applications.

A Continued Prosecution Application (CPA) is a type of patent application that allows applicants to continue prosecution of a prior design application. Its important to note that CPAs are now only available for design applications, not utility applications.
The RCE may be filed with a response or subsequent to the filing of an after-final response. In most cases, you will likely want to file an Office Action response with further claim amendments and arguments in conjunction with the RCE.
