My concern is that the PTO was to send a letter of intent to reissue a patent for the 336 and it was to be mailed out during the week of 8-17-2009. So far no record of that mailing can be found. As I see it the only obsticle to that was the 457 reexamination request which was denied for being incomplete on 7/23/2009. They were diven a thirty day extention to correct mistakes in the request which would be on 8/23/2009. Did the PTO wait an extra week in delaying the sending of the letter of intent to reissue the 336 to give the requestors a chance to re-file. They originally gave no intent to do so since they said they would send it during the week of 8/17/2009 which was after the 7/23/2009. So they knew or were aware of the time frames. Something must have changed to get them to delay the mailing. I don't believe the requestor can communicate to the USPTO other than thru the ex-parte request. So my question would be who asked for the delay in the mailing? Since it was originated thru a third party, Richardson and Fish ( are they representing the T3) I don't know? If not, then would the court ask for the delay of the mailing to resolve all remaing issues? Even if Richardson and Fish were not a party to the litigation proceedings?

Something strange is going on?
