IMO it is time to request oversight from the examiners direct supervisor and maybe even a change of request of the examiner...either that or the original examiner and his boss were utterly incompetent in the first issuance with these same patents in existence which did not effect our patent getting issued years ago.
Time for some "gloves off' attitude with this examiner and GAU supervisor....there is a time to be accomodating and agreeable and a time to get demanding...that time has come IMO.
Agreed and I hope to see evidence of this in the reply.
Be well
