RCEs after allowance
Oh how wonderful to get one of these yay! What happens when you have reason to believe that maybe a small amendment is needed to prevent a rejection and you know promote compact prosecution by calling the applicant and saying "hey can you amend the claim this way because ids art reads on your claim?"
Well if you do that you get 1 hour of credit plus an interview credit. 2 hours for an allowance vs whatever time you get for a rejection so you know what applicants? Im not calling you im gonna do the rejection because its worth my time to do it than to call you now. Thank the administration for this horrible practice. Theres a reason why we give full credit for RCEs after allowance because its gonna promote shit like this and goes against compact prosecution.
Upper management (former examiners) including SPEs should not ever ever punish an examiner for doing this because all of them examined in way more favorable conditions than we currently are examining right now. Now its all about surviving.
