The attorney was faced with a new document and requested to understand it (during a break!) and amend the claims without the benefit of the applicant/inventors thought, i.e., the analysis of the experts of the field.<br /><br />Applicant was not een given any time to evaluate the new documents D4 and D5. No comment...<br /><br /><br />IMO, this ED and particular the senior examiner/chairman, needs more time to understand its role, at the moment they do not seem so fit for that.<br /><br />GrimmAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8990057754240336385.post-57487535154963584042020-03-31T15:07:33.663+02:002020-03-31T15:07:33.663+02:00Very interesting and challenging case for the repr...Very interesting and challenging case for the representative.

That examining and opposition divisions are presently under a high production pressure is one thing.<br /><br />But to behave as it the examining division did cannot be excused. <br /><br />This is the more so since the ED sat 10 years on the file in order to summon to the famous oral proceedings after two enquiries as to when the next action could be expected. I have never seen such an atrocious behaviour. <br /><br />If an examining division has been sanctioned for granting a patent on a rolling hairdressers saloon with opening allowing daylight to enter, this division deserves even more to be sanctioned. <br /><br />And on top of this the reasons for the refusal were as flimsy as possible.<br /><br />The board did not remit as usual after a procedural violation, but only remitted with the order to grant a patent.
