Re: [PIUG List] A Question relating to Replying to Office Actions

Dear Rick,

Thanks for your reply. I will be highly obliged if you can kindly throw some
light on, how seriously the Examiner took your argument, which was based on
prosecution history and further did you use the prosecution history
argument to provide support to another stronger argument for the same claim,
or that was the only argument you were banking on. Thanks a lot for taking
out time to reply to my question. Thanks again

Thanks and regards,
Bhaskar
