"This non final position presented by the PTO agent is the proper format"

Wouldn't it have been great if Anjan Deb had issued a non-final action saying he saw no connection between any prior art and NEOM's patents. There is an option in the uspto process for him to have said "All Claims Found Patentable".

Or perhaps at that point , since NEOM preempted any further EFF participation by not making a "Patent Owner's Reply" to the USPTO's allowing of the re-exam to go forward ... it would have been a final action?

Oh well, but that didn't happen, so we are where we are.

"I hope this is clearly understood by you and others. If you do not understand anything else - understand that the PTO is not responsible for defending NEOM's patents."

Yup , I think everyone understands that. Still ... it would have been great if the uspto had ruled in our favor ... since it was all about our 'rock-solid' patents. This would all be over now.
