I started the week with three amendments on my Amended docket; I did Office Actions on two of them, and am down to one amendment. Two items appeared on my Expedited docket, one of them an internal matter, pointing out an error in one of my Office Actions, and the other an After Final amendment, in which a patent agent claimed that I had erred in finding a set of claims unpatentable, at least in their current form. I responded to both, and have nothing left on my Expedited docket.
I used the expression “patent agent;” a patent enrolled agent is someone who is not a patent attorney, and cannot represent you in court, but is qualified to represent an inventor before the Patent Office, by drawing up an application, amending claims, and arguing with patent examiners like me.
On Saturday the ninth, I finished an Office Action on my oldest Regular New application for last biweek. The past few days, I have been working on my current oldest Regular New case, which I hope to finish Monday. There is now one week left in the second quarter.
