Cute Little Dogs

On Wednesday, passing a small park near the Patent Office, I saw a young man with two beagles, and stopped to say hello. One of the beagles, a tricolor named Murphy, let me pet him. The other was a darker furred beagle named Winston.

I received two amendments this week, and finished an Office Action on one of my older amendments, so I’m now at four amendments on my Amended docket.

I also finished a first action on my oldest Regular New application.

I was teleworking today, which worked out for a while, but then I lost my connection to the Patent Office’s VPN. I called the service desk, and did various things to try to fix the problem, but finally the service technician told me that he would have to escalate the ticket to a higher level, since nothing that he could do, or have me do, worked.
