If I recall, after face to face discussions between Moore and the PTO examiner, the examiner requested that modifications to the patent be submitted. ( exactly which patent I can't recall- could have been the 584) Moore refused to make any modifications, so perhaps it is just one, or a couple of claims that were rejected. I don't know if they can reject the whole patent if they don't agree with certain aspects? It would seem that they can. Just guessing? Does anyone else remember in better detail what I am referring to?
