The Red Queen’s Race

This week, I got one item on my Expedited docket, an Information Disclosure Statement for an allowed case; the applicant had filed the IDS after I allowed the case, but before the allowance was mailed (or, more likely, electronically transmitted) to the applicant. So I considered the one document listed on the IDS, concluded that it did not require me to withdraw my finding of allowability, and made that of record. I also finished an Office Action on the one amendment on my Amended docket, so now I’ve cleared all my amendments of any kind, and am down to zero.

I finished my then-oldest Regular New shortly before 3:00 PM Tuesday, and I’ve been working on this biweek’s oldest Regular New.
