No...I think the appeal filing Aug 30 is strictly a timeline procedural matter, meaning there was a deadlne for EDIG to file their intentions in the event a rejection is received.

We have received nothing of the kind after our response July 30.

Check 90/011,379 and look at the paper flow.

IMO, think of it as a notice of intent to appeal if circumstances dictate such.
