The Red Queen’s Race

[ndrosen]

No amendments appeared this week, and I dealt with both of the amendments I already had. I wrote an Office Action on my own for one of them; the other was an Appeal Brief, in response to which I had written an Examiner’s Answer, which my supervisor signed off on once he got back to work. I then posted it to a second supervisor, who signed it, after which I posted it for credit, and copies will in due course go to the applicant and the Board of Appeals. I have for the moment outrun the Red Queen, and have no amendments.

I also finished an Office Action on my oldest Regular New case, and then did an Office Action on another Regular New case. I also have one Special New case, so I’ve been searching for prior art relevant to what’s claimed there.
