Hi Altarboy,

You can appeal a Final Rejection and for Efficient Methods and Apparatus for High-Throughput Processing of Gene Sequence Data
US: 09/964,059, there was a Final Rejection on 06-15-2005.

However, Compositions and Methods for Inferring a Response to Statin seems to be moving in the right direction and there was movement on 06-17-2005.

Hope this answers your question,
Big Blue

My post 28203 Links to the appropriate web site. That is their language. I believe there is an ability to appeal, and again, since we don't know the particulars, we can assume either the whole patent is based on junk science, too broad, or form 731 was not filled out in quadruplicate with biodegradeable ink applied with a quill pen. Hence, the final rejection is not "final" until DNAP decides not to pursue the application.

That's my read of the language. Obviously the weight DNAP puts on the application will be in dollars paid to patent attorneys and independent expert costs. The Patent Office may have decided the application was too broad and denied it for lack of specificity. Someone was going on vacation, and this was a neat way to postpone dealing with DNAP 'til they got back. Please feel free to create any Top 10 or 25 list you want. Until DNAP closes the book on this application, it is still in the running, and perhaps with the reasons for rejection specified, the turnaround time will be less.
