WHIPgroup attorneys secured a favorable decision from the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“PTAB”), reversing all rejections of an application directed to a method and apparatus for the production of a workpiece of exact geometry. After a lengthy examination history, including an appeal in the parent application, during oral argument WHIPgroup persuaded the Board that the premise of the Board’s previous decision was incorrect, reversing all rejections. Allowance of the patent application is expected in due course.
