Thanks Flipper, this is really interesting. In particular. the following:-

[b]Prior Rejections

"Applicant thanks the Examiner for withdrawal of rejection of Claims 1,3,10,11,12,18,19,20,22,29,30,31,33,34,48 and 50 under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over Fadul in view of Jacobs and Dulos as well as the rejection of Claims 1,3,6,10,11,12,18,20,22,25.29-31.33.48 and 50 under 35 103 as being unpatentable over Yamanaka in view of Jacobs and Dulos"

IMO this is a really positive development. What appears to have happened is NWBO has submitted new articles that have convinced the examiner they were wrong in saying the claims were "unpatentable" The fact that the examiner has withdrawn the rejection IMO is huge as they could easily have just stuck with the decision.

Also, two other claims (19 and 34) the examiner states "would be allowable" if rewritten "in independent form including all the limitations of the base claim and any intervening claims"
