Here's some food for thought as the PTO doggedly pursues efficiency
The PTO seems to be on an endless crusade to make the patent prosecution process more efficient. To some extent, it's a noble pursuit, but when the ability of an applicant to seek proper protection for an invention is affected...it gets plain scary.
Consider this quote from Eugene McCarthy
"The only thing that saves us from the bureaucracy is inefficiency. An efficient bureaucracy is the greatest threat to liberty."
Time magazine, Feb. 12, 1979
