Allvoice sought a remand of the Holt application to the examiner for further prosecution or to issue an order requiring AVRS to show cause why judgment should not be entered against the Holt application. Without requiring AVRS to even file a response, the Federal Circuit, per Chief Judge Rader, explained that there was simply no justification for the issuance of a writ of mandamus because there was no showing that an ordinary appeal wouldn’t suffice after the PTO finally disposed of the interference proceeding. Of course, that doesn’t take into consideration the need for Allvoice to quite title to proceed with its infringement action against Microsoft. The plot thickens!
