Thanks, you seem to have answered my question above that was based on my growing
suspicion of the USAnian patent racket.

Well final office action was issued on the 1st April, (01/04/2013).
That means the final office action had been going for 7 months. Now this is only
the trial and not the
final decision (or two), so a month could easily be added on to make it 8 months
(remember these two
fight like cats and dogs). Also remember the first trial was scheduled for 30th
of July 2012, and a
judgement wasn't made about it until earlier this year.
Also from what i understand, they would be appealing the denial of the final
extension, not the actual
validity of patent itself. So they will have to a good reason why their response
is late. I am also
assuming that the USPTO doesn't take kindly to late submissions (considering
that you get fined if you
don't give them 3 months to decide).
Also the judge may be just getting the potential trial out of the way , and will
end up waiting for the
final judgement of the patent before making her final decision (like she did
with the injunction). Think
about it this way if the judge had of said we will wait, then this would have
gone to the appeals court
anyway. Which the decision may have been overturned. Remember she did question
the validity of the
patents in the first trial. I mean she has to be fair to everyone or it will get
appealed.
Thanks
