I’m at a medium sized firm and love getting these transferred to my firm. One or two office actions and they are almost always allowed. It’s crazy.
Can’t agree more. There is usually a decent path to allowance that reveals itself pretty quickly once you are familiar with the file.
Chances are senior partner at big firm has never even looked at the file. Unless you’re paying 20-30k for an app and 5-8k for an OA response (which some companies are), it just doesn’t work with biglaw partner billing rates.
Also a good reason for clients to add an extra billable item for examiner interviews in addition to base OA budget. Sometimes, they don’t help, but more often than not they’re worth the 1.5 hours of prep and call time.
I love fixing others problems too
