The Red Queen’s Race

[ndrosen]

This week, I got one ordinary amendment on my Amended docket, and two cases arrived on my Expedited docket, one of them being a Printer’s Rush where someone spotted the need to make minor corrections in an allowed case, and one of them being an After Final where the applicant wanted me to reconsider my decision to write a final rejection instead of an allowance. I dealt with both of the Expedited cases, and I wrote and posted Office Actions on two older cases on my Amended docket, so now I’m left with two cases on my Amended docket. One of them is an Appeal Brief; I wrote an Examiner’s Answer, but I couldn’t post it by myself, as it requires approval from my supervisor and another supervisor, so it’s still on the Amended docket for now.

I also finished and posted a first action on my oldest Regular New case.
