In a U.S. Application related to a cooling system for a ball mill, a Final Office Action was issued rejecting the pending claims for obviousness.  WHIPgroup filed an AFCP arguing an improper use of the cited references.  The Examiner was forced to withdraw the rejection which lead to an allowance of the claims saving WHIPgroup’s client costly appeal or RCE fees.
