"If you're talking about 3-5 months away for the 148 and the 336...i'd say we are at least 5 months if not more on the 148 and maybe 9-18 mos.on the 336. That can change though if we answer the non-final before the usual two month reply date and if convincing to the examiner then its a matter of 30-60 days from there. The 336 could easily follow right behind within 3 mos after that...so at best maybe 7 mos or so before all is complete in our favor...if not and more arguing ensues...then like I said at least a 1 1/2 yrs.if not more."

etnester,

is the above based on the assumption that the 336 is dependent on the 148?
