This patent application was submitted in June 2015 and the patent granted in September 2016; that is quick, perhaps implying a desire for speed; look back at the length others have taken.

I have a question: In the patent process, if you already have an array of related (and supporting) patents around a particular process or technology, will the patent office consider an application that unites them all into one neat package more quickly approvable because of the prior approvals? or is each patent application considered in a vacuum?
