To the Honorable Comissioner of Patent and Trademarks:

Dear Sir:

The new rules about to go into effect in November, really suck.

My brain hurts just looking at the hoops the Applicant (i.e., me, the assistant to the Patent Attorney who represents the Applicant) will have to jump through to file a Patent Application. May I be so bold to ask, just what the hell will the Examiner's be doing from now on?

I thought the goal was to streamline the process, obviously not from this end. I see.
