No. The examiner\'s not to blame, the turning of the USPTO into a profit center is. JF

No AGC, ghastly biasing.

The examiner is still supposed to apply the rules. It may not be his fault if he's been employed to do a job that he's incapable of, but he should still be fired.

Doesn't it work as advertised?

Can a crystal radio be set up to monitor the entire aircraft band?

What you don\'t seem to understand is that the rule is, except for what seem to be some rare cases,: "Open the floodgates!" Such being the case, if the examiner is too judicious or argues too much against the issuance of the patent, _that\'s_ how he\'s likely to lose his job. JF

I once answered an examiner questioning my patent application with, "You're too stupid to understand" ;-)

He granted the patent.

(The circuit DOES work by the way.)

You aren't the only one to use that strategy successfully.

He may indeed argue until he's blue, but it takes his time every time he does. in the end, he's measured by income (i.e. patents granted), not office actions. You tend to get what you measure.
