You have reminded me of a fortune (from fortune cookie) I once received, a long time ago. It said (paraphrasing) 'He who thinks he knows all, knows all he will ever know'.

You may be interested in the link below, from law360:
http://www.law360.com/articles/468230/uspto-s-final-rejection-of-a-patent-isn-t-so-final

The linked article is titled 'USPTO's Final Rejection Of A Patent Isn't So Final'

The article begins 'A final U.S. Patent and Trademark Office action rejecting a patent application may appear to sound the death knell for your company’s patent application. Fortunately, in patent prosecution, as with many mistakes in life, “final” does not really mean “final” — you still have opportunities to “make amends” and overcome the problem in various ways.'

Please also note that although a final rejection does always spell the end for a potential patent, I still agree that stating 'patent pending' for a submitted patent which has received a final rejection is misleading at best, and does not sit well with me.

As always, simply my opinion.

You’ve already seen I-GLOW’s posting of the screen shots. But there’s more:

Go to this link: portal.uspto.gov/pair/PublicPair

Then click on the tab at the top that says “Image File Wrapper.” What does the very first line say: “Final Rejection.”
