Patent Info

Seems the patent application for the probe has been stymied by an examiner again. It got a Notice of Publication way back on June 24, 2021. It got it's first rejection on September 7, 2021. A lot of back and forth and arguments about the claims through 2021 and the first half of 2022 but ended with a final rejection on August 8, 2022. More discussion and debate in October 2022 and February 2023 culminating with another non-final rejection on February 28, 2023. It got resucitated in August 2023 with a request for an extension of time and new amendments to the claims for reconsideration. This appears to have ended once again with another final rejection as shown below. It seems no matter how hard they try the Inventor and the Examiner cannot come to terms on this. Whether it will be abandoned at this point or whether they will go another round is anybody's guess but it is at least grounded once again in the near term.
