The Red Queen’s Race

This week, I got one amendment on my Expedited docket, an allowed case where the applicant wanted to correct a minor error in one of the claims, and to have me consider a list of prior art references. I dealt with that, so I’m now back to having no amendments of any kind.

I finished an Office Action on my oldest Regular New application, and have started on the next Regular New, but I really don’t expect to finish anything more by the deadline for the biweek, Monday at 3:00 PM.

This week, I participated in several meetings, and did other stuff, reducing the number of hours actually examining; otherwise, I might be a bit further along.
