I just hope my state doesn't require me to give back the CLE credit I got for going to seminars on the new rules. A huge waste of time and money indeed. Great news.

Tafas, GSK, David Boundy, Richard Belzer, and Ron Katznelson are to be commended for resisting this monstrous abuse of authority by the prior PTO hiearchy. What a collossal waste time and money for all involved. And a complete "thumbs down" on ever granting the PTO substantive rulemaking authority! Gene,

Really, they need to keep up! But, at least they did come to their senses post election. Hopefully the folks working on Patent Reform will listen ahead of time as opposed to after-the-fact. The system needs tweaks here and there not wholesale reform. So, when did you write the post that asked the PTO to withdraw the rules? Really, they need to keep up!
