s**********g 发帖数: 186 | 4 Thank you for the reply.
I did not tell the whole story in the beginning. Some of our claims were
withdrawn by the examiner in the office action, but we disagreed with him.
In our response we requested rejoinder of those claims and did not use
withdrawn or withdrawn-currently amended. The day before, we got a notice of
non-compliant response indicating those claims should be identified as
withdrawn.
So my question is when rejoinder is requested, how the claims that are
withdrawn by mistake are identified.
Thanks in advance.

incorrectly or mistakenly withdrawn by the Examiner for reasons A, B, C...
or you may traverse the restriction requirement set forth by the Examiner at
the first place...if this is what you actually wanted to do. However, now
it may already be too late to do so.

d********e 发帖数: 2221 | 6 it's not worth fighting a restriction requirement. you are wasting your time
and money.
if any withdrawn claims are eligible for rejoinder at the time of allowance,
they will be rejoined automatically.
just use "withdrawn" in front of withdrawn claims. file a divisional
application to pursue those withdrawn claims that will not be rejoined.
are you prosecuting this application yourself? I suggest you find a lawyer
or agent before you make an irreversible mistake. |
z******n 发帖数: 336 | 7 you would better to talk to a patent agent or attorney for details. the file
wrapper needs to be reviewed before a complete answer can be given.
However, don't worry. It should be easily curable if you don't make mistakes.

s**********g 发帖数: 186 | 8 惭愧. 我是个刚入行的patent agent. 顶头律师要我回复一个 the notice of non-
compliant response.在她给上一个 non-final office action的答复中,she
requested rejoinder of the claims withdrawn by the examiner and marked those
claims as original or anything else other than withdrawn or withdrawn-
currently amended.The response from the examiner is the notice of non-
compliant response as above. She talked to me today and told me we were
going to comply with most of the withdrawn claims except two. So I kept the
identifiers for those two the same as before (not withdrawn), withdrew the
others. She will discuss with me again tomorrow.
It looks like if you disagree with the examiner for the election, you don't
change the identifiers to withdrawn until you have no choice. But I kind of
agree with deltaforce that if you reserve your right to request rejoinder ,
when allowable matter is found they may be reconsidered.
Thank you to everyone! |
z******n 发帖数: 336 | 9 Some examiners will notify you in the office action that a withdrawn process
claim will automatically be rejoined after a product claim is found
allowable, IF you elect the product claim.
Unless you are 100% sure you will win, no need to fight a RR. And it is too
early to fight too. Get some claims considered for the merits first. However
, be careful when electing claims. In a product/process situation, if you
elect a process, then no possibility of rejoining a product. if you elect a
product, you might rejoin a process. I may be wrong to some extent. |

s**********g 发帖数: 186 | 12 The client won't get freak out this time, cause they won't get to see
exactly how many hours I spent (10h). The lawyer ( 7 years in this firm, 3
years as patent agent in another firm) told me today, 90% of the time I
spent would not be billable.
How can I become more efficient? How to deal with this billing system?
Any suggestions are appreciated!
Are you thinking asking for rejoinder in the response to Notice of Non-
Compliant Amendment is not worth it? The lawyer is determined to do so even
she feels like we may get a final rejection. But she asks for a phone call
if the final decision is made by the examiner. Will that help us avoid the
final rejection?

Apparently she is not happy about my efficiency, and I am not encouraged by
working without being paid. I wish there is a smart way of learning.

d********e 发帖数: 2221 | 22 She should teach you the best approach she knows. She should explain to you
why certain things are done in certain ways. She should revise your drafts
carefully.
Billable hour is "billable" not "billed." If you bill 1000 hours and the
firm writes off 900, you still get 1000 hours. If your firm requires "billed
" hour and still writes off a big chunk of your time, find another firm.
Nobody I know is concerned with his/her billable hour requirement.
