A quick definition of interference-estoppel rejection:

Interference-estoppel rejection is when a patent claim is rejected because the applicant did not bring it into a previous interference contest where its priority could have been determined. This is just one type of rejection that can happen during the patent application process. Rejection means that the patent examiner has found a problem with the application or claim, and it cannot be granted until the problem is fixed. There are many different types of rejection, such as lack of novelty or clarity, and each one requires a different solution.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Interference-estoppel rejection is a type of rejection in patent law where a patent claim is rejected because the applicant failed to bring the claim into a previous interference contest in which its priority could have been determined.

Example: If an inventor files a patent application for a new invention, but fails to participate in an interference contest with another inventor who filed a similar patent application earlier, the patent examiner may issue an interference-estoppel rejection. This means that the inventor cannot claim priority over the earlier application and the patent claim will be rejected.

This type of rejection is meant to prevent inventors from filing multiple patent applications for the same invention and to encourage them to participate in interference contests to determine priority.
