Patent Application will take YEARS.

vester_guy, you said:

"I agree with you lake 100 percent you understand..We both agree that it is the PATENT that we are waiting for..Amen Brother...Wolf.... COULD BE MONTH(S) OR DAYS OR HOURS...."

Take a look at the Transaction history of this patent application. Go to this site, enter the captcha, and search for publication 20100248269:

http://portal.uspto.gov/pair/PublicPair

Then click the Transaction History tab. Notice the current status = "Electronic Information Disclosure Statement" on 02-28-2013. Also notice that this application is a "Request for Continued Examination (RCE)."

Do some DD about the backlog of RCE's at the USPTO. Here's a good article written by a patent attorney:

http://www.ipwatchdog.com/2013/02/14/the-rce-backlog-a-critical-patent-office-problem/id=35431/

What is the USPTO doing to try and get caught up?

http://patentlyo.com/patent/2013/03/uspto-takes-action-to-reduce-rce-backlog.html

Note the first graph: 110,000 untouched RCE's in March 2013 when Radient submitted theirs!

Note the second graph: 13,000 RCE's new each year, and only 11,000 getting a first action each year. That's why the number of untouched RCE's is growing.

The program described in that link to give more credit for RCE's ended in Sept 2013 -- and how many RCE's did they clear away? How long before the USPTO gets to Radient's RCE? If they give a First Action on 11,000 RCE's per year, and had 110,000 backlogged in March 2013.... that is ten years. Sure, that is "worst case," but what is "best case?" FOUR YEARS? FIVE?
