"It tells us though that there was no point of agreement made between the two parties at this face to face meeting."

How can we be so sure there was no agreement between the parties in the face to face meeting? Isn't it possible the parties did agree but the examiner needed to have the details written down so he would not miss anything in adding very complex and detailed information to the patent paperwork?

It seems entirely possible that as Opty pointed out that we may see the same pattern as the first rejections on the 148. It's entirely possible that all parties came to an agreement in the face to face meeting but the examiner needed the written documents from TPL/Moore to add clarification to the patents in the patent owners words.

I'm no expert by any means but this does seem probable to me.

Also concerning RG's statement about the patent reexamination being a long process that can take months or even years, lets not forget that it has been years already.

All the best,
