No question it is frustrating too be put thru what we have been put thru! We seem to win all or most of the battles yet obstacle after obstacle is thrown in our path, I feel like a sock-eye, ready to spawn. I would imagine that the latest obstacle will be thrown out in a short period of time (the re-exam) by the USPTO based on the arduous and lengthy work just completed by a colleague. We have persevered so far, lets hope we start rolling soon. GLTAL
