This week, I wrote and posted an Office Action on the one amendment that I had before; someone filed another amendment, so I’m back at one amendment on my Amended docket.

I’ve also been working on searching the prior art for my oldest Regular New application, but I haven’t actually started writing yet.

This week, I worked on an amendment, and finished an Office Action, so I’m down from four cases on my Amended docket to three. I am now working on my current oldest amendment.

I finished an Office Action on my oldest Regular New application.

This week, an After Final amendment showed up on my Expedited docket, so I dealt with that, and am now back to four amendments on my Amended docket, and nothing on my Expedited docket.

I also finished and posted an Office Action on the oldest (only) Request for Continued Examination case on my Regular New docket, and have done some work on the oldest non-RCE Regular New application.

Early last week, I finished an Office Action on my oldest amendment. Later in the week, a new amendment appeared, so I’m back to having four cases on my Amended docket.

I also worked on searching my oldest Regular New application, and began writing an Office Action, although I didn’t finish it. More work to be done this coming week.

This week, two amendments appeared on my Expedited docket. I have done an Office Action on one of them, so I am currently at four amendments, three on my Amended docket, and one on my Expedited docket.

I did some work searching and analyzing my oldest Regular New application, before putting it aside to deal with the Expedited cases. I also did some other work.

There is one week left before the end of the second quarter.

I called this weekly feature The Red Queen’s Race because I use to typically have a substantial number of amendments on my docket, and I was trying to keep the numbers down. It’s now starting to resemble the old days, since I received another amendment early this week, raising the total to five amendments on my Amended docket. I have been working on one of the older amendments, but I’m not finished yet. I hope to do some more searching, and post an Office Action this weekend.

I did finish an Office Action on my oldest Regular New application a couple of days ago, so that’s something accomplished.

This week, I finished and posted an Office Action on my Expedited case, so there’s nothing on my Expedited docket, and three amendments on my Amended docket.

I have also made some progress on my oldest Special New case, now my only Special New case.

This past week, two amendments appeared on my Amended docket, and are still there; I haven’t worked on them. I also got one After Final amendment on my Expedited docket, and I did work on that one, and finished an Office Action, so the case is no longer on my Expedited docket; I just have the two cases on my Amended docket.

I held an interview with an attorney, as he requested. Back on Saturday the 25th, I finished the Request for Continued Examination case on my Regular New docket, and posted that, so my production for last biweek looked good. This week, I worked on my oldest Special New case, and made progress, but without finishing the Office Action.

Here’s the political bonus: last week, I was teleworking on Friday, so when I didn’t finish an Office Action then, I worked on it Saturday, and finished it. This past week, I have been going in to the Patent Office in Carlyle every day, so my current case will probably not be finished Saturday. Instead of working in my own living room, I would need to make at least a forty minute commute each way to put in some more working time, so things won’t be done as fast, and I will be less productive. I suspect that the very stable genius and his friend Elon didn’t anticipate things like this.

This week, I finished an Office Action on my one amendment, so I’m down to zero cases on my Amended docket.

Someone filed a Request for Continued Examination, giving me an oldest Regular New RCE case, as well as an oldest Regular New non-RCE case. I have made good progress on the latter, and hope to finish it this weekend. Then I plan to tackle the RCE application.

No amendments arrived on my docket this week, either, so I’m still at zero amendments.

I have been working on my oldest Regular New application, and have made good progress, but have not been able to finish the Office Action. I hope to do that this weekend.
