Quick Highlights:

-Larry H went and described the re-exam process. Re-exam request, followed by TPL/PTSC having 2 months to reply, but choosing “no” to respond to this “so we don’t plant seeds in examiners mind”. PTO proposes non-final action which is usually a broad brush evaluation by examiners and pretty much allows the request, then TPL/PTSC responds, when we can tell PTO why they are wrong. When PTO does put out that proposed action, Alliacense goes and picks it apart piece by piece, then Larry and Carl (and others) get together and strategize.

-“We have built up good credibility with examiners now.”

-We address concerns in ways that don’t hurt patents.

-Larry says, a couple of times. USPTO “final” doesnt mean “final”.
