IMHO it is the examiners that both TPL and PTSC are concerned about. It is better to say nothing until 336 and 148 are out of the woods. Don't you think that is prudent?

They're actually starting to say a bit more than "nothing" about the USPTO re-exams - see below. I don't know how any talk re: the USPTO would effect examiners. However, I don't think it actually matters what "they" state about the USPTO re-exams right now as it relates to the SP. It's going to take a lot more than talk for Patriot to get out of this hole. See GDucks list from this morning on what it will take to start a lift off.

"We commend the Buffalo Business Team for their decisive action to secure an MMP License after comprehensive review of the MMP Portfolio and USPTO’s re-examinations.”
