We are a lot closer to the begining of the process than the end, I'll repost this link again for the last time. I'ts not time for an appeal, look at the flowchart (scroll down) and understand where NEOM is in the process. Take the time to see how many opportunities for the PTO to rule in NEOM's favor, It only takes one and it's over. Relax, execution of a business plan is what will make or break NEOM. GLTUA

re: where we are in the patent re-exam process

krays posted an excellent link after we found the USPTO's preliminary determination rejecting the 95 claims.

We're at the "patent owner response after non-final action" point in the process. Neomedia has various options for their response including narrowing or otherwise modifying some or all of the claims. An 'appeal' would come after a final action.

Counselor, there is no appeal

The core patent claims (95) have been rejected, meaning set aside for NeoMedia to now respond to the content of the reexam request. I believe they now have 60 days to do so, or until 09/12/08 - give or take. The EFF is
now permanently blocked from dialogue with the PTO during this portion of events, while NeoMedia pursues addressing the content of the reexam and disassembling it while substantiating why the patent claims will stand. NeoMedia's attorneys chose this approach for very specific and deliberate reasons. Additionally, no need for more complaint motions or mention thereof, as this information is public to all. Hope this helps.

All the Best, JP
