"For now, and hopefully not misleading anyone, I am sticking to what I've observed on the site that no rejection has been entered after our response 7/30."
You're not misleading, that is exactly the case.....the examiner has not offered any uploads of any kind of what is on his mind.
Not for the 7-30 response by e.Digital, or the 8-24-12 supplemental response by e.Digial has the USPTO responded with PAIR filings.
"All there is are procedural entries I will call it, and the 8/30 appeal appears to be ditto."
IMO, the appeal is induced, someone is not satisfied.
Time will tell...because at this point, neither e.Digital, or the USPTO are giving results.
Why the secrecy?
