Let me take you back a few posts:

All parties having any portion of the ownership in the patent property must act together as a composite entity in patent matters before the Office

please note the phrase "ownership in the patent"

You replied:

EVEN IF ALL PARTIES SIMUTANEOUSY(simultaneously?)STAND TOGETHER BEFORE THE PTO.

"wouldn't that indicate settlement of the outstanding issues?"

No, it would not. Showing a concerted front to the PTO on issues of "Obviousness" and/or "Prior Art" is VERY different than settling on a dispute of equitable ownership on the underlying patents.

I will merely state a previous reply to you,

I have to agree with you on taking a common sense approach to the "clear meaning" of statements.

By way of reciprocity, and until such time that you apply your own criteria to any statements, please be advised that I no longer feel obligated to give the courtesy of a reply.

Be well
