amazing.....I wounder what sentiment I would be reading had the court ruled on 737....in trying to issue a construction consideration aligning with what it already had concluded?

DM made the right decision....it's disappointing, however, it's not over.

It's now up to the USPTO to straighten this out....or the USPTO ends up with egg on it's face for allowing this patent to be published !!. Along with the published family that it's tied to it ....and the fact that they are published WO as well. The application on this issue was a struggle from the get go...having multiple stops and restarts. There had been more than enough time to distinguish it for a proper publishing.

You are now invested in your Gov sponsored patent system....if this issue is not stabilized at the USPTO...there is more at stake than little old EDIG. I hope this does not prove to be the biggest con ever, that includes Markman issues for the legal system. ...ie...the letter of the law regarding the context for the word "sole"? I'm still looking for it.

Many here need to get a grip and think things through. Posting less would do may a world good while allowing the USPTO to do it's thing.

You are now sitting on a 4 cent gamble....it could get worse, or it may shine very bright.
Forget the emotion and make a decision.....man up.
