prosecution technique...
« on: Apr 2nd, 2007, 3:46pm »		 Quote Quote Modify Modify
All,
 
I have an OA where the examiner forgot to address a dependent claim.  Should I bring it up, or otherwise address it?
 
Thanks,
 
Jim.

If the OA doesn't really say how the limitation in the dependent claim is addressed by the references, I would probably ask the examiner for a supplemental office action.   There is no real point in dragging things out for your client even if you can legitimately insist that the next OA be non-final.
