Cool tech has to respond to the rejection in 6 months. The patent was rejected on 11/29/2022. So they need to respond by end of May 2023. So its the end of next month. But the uspto updates seem to lag by a couple of weeks so I would check back in early Jun, mid Jun, and late Jun. There should be an response by late Jun posted or they will likely have missed the deadline. Once they respond the patent office usually responds in 3 months or less to the rebuttal to the non-final rejection.

It takes them a super long time to respond to the initial claim. Patents get to reviews a first review, then they respond, then a second review. If the second review fails its considered a 'final' rejection, but companies can then appeal and the first review after the appeal takes a long time because its considered an 'initial' appeal again.
Confusing, I know!
