The Red Queen's Race

[ndrosen]

I got two new cases on my Amended docket this week, one ordinary amendment, and one Appeal Brief. I submitted a request to have the Electronic Information Center do a search for what is claimed in the amendment, and I made an appointment to discuss the Appeal Brief with my supervisor and a third person next week. However, I didn't actually respond to any amendments, so I'm now up to a total of four, including the Appeal Brief and an amendment that's paused while we learn whether another unit within the Patent Office will take it.

I did finish a new rejection on my Request for Continued Examination case, and then did a first action rejection on a non-RCE Regular New case. I've been working on another Regular New case, which I hope to finish by Tuesday at 3:00 PM.

Then I'll have plenty else to do by the end of the Fiscal Year, which is the end of September.
