I am somewhat conflicted over this last reexam. On the one hand, it should not be taking this long for a response from the USPTO if, as we all think, it is about issues that have already been addressed in a previous exam. On the other, perhaps it is taking so long because the USPTO is making sure all "T's" have been crossed and all "i's" have been dotted and it is reaching finality. But one thing can be rest assured...this has been a long and hard fought battle and the reason is money and lots of it. It will be a game changing event one way or the other. That's why I am going down with the ship, or having a very pleasant cruise the rest of my life.
