Gardi stated: ""Just to simplify "final rejection" just a bit, "final" means they're done talking to you unless you pay more money. With rare exceptions, you have to respond with an appeal or an RCE, both of which cost more money (unlike a non-final rejection)."
That is more misinformation.
Any rejection has to be answered and not with just money. This rejection will require Small-Howard to somehow prove to the examiner that the Jandu published papers do not contain information Small-Howard is attempting to patent. In response to the previous final rejection over a year ago, Small-Howard requested an oral argument to prove her patent application was different from the Jandu published papers. She obviously failed in that regard. An oral argument is usually the final attempt an inventor makes to prove their application is valid.
Also, I clearly did state that Small-Howard has 90 days to respond.
