The Red Queen’s Race

[ndrosen]

I didn’t get any amendments this week (although there is an amendment to one of the cases in my Rejected docket, which may show up in my Amended docket soon), and I finished an Office Action on my only current amendment on Monday. I currently have nothing on my Amended docket, and one Board of Appeals decision on my Expedited docket. I may really want to expedite it in a few days, when the applicant’s period to respond expires.

I also did an Office Action on a Regular New case. Another Regular New case has vanished because I requested that it be reclassified, and sent to a more appropriate area of the Patent Office, which has now happened.

There is one week left in the Fiscal Year. If I can do tolerably well next week, I should be able to remain employed and in good standing for the next six months.
