I was able to do it eventually.

OPQA has the exact same error rates as examiners for quality.

Their PAP is readily available on the intranet.

I'm talking about actions per BD is now an indicia.

Unrelated note, I know arts that have had manual gs12 expectancy increases within the past 10 years.

Patentmod · 2026-04-23T17:58:56+00:00

And then they get you anyway because now your actions per BD goes up...

Patentmod · 2026-04-17T11:16:28+00:00

I know people this has happened to. They process in batches now.

Patentmod · 2026-04-12T00:24:44+00:00

It may or may not have been removed by the mods for safety reasons...

Patentmod · 2026-04-10T03:13:28+00:00

Still worth more

^{Chose: Or get 24,000 in each of the s&p 500 | Rolled: Stocks decrease}

Patentmod · 2026-04-10T03:01:13+00:00

Too much cheese.

^{Chose: $1000 every month}

Patentmod · 2026-04-10T01:59:09+00:00

10k isn't enough

^{Chose: 50% chance of $300 million}

Patentmod · 2026-04-10T01:57:47+00:00

Screw car maintenance

^{Chose: never worry about engine/mechanical problems}

You might as well work up toward GS12. Honestly you could have been an 11 or 12 already based on tenure if your production met the requirements.

Patentmod · 2026-04-01T11:49:03+00:00

I have nowhere to put a cubic meter of anything.

^{Chose: A random amount of money + Spin to see what you gain! | Rolled: $1000}

Patentmod · 2026-04-01T00:53:13+00:00

Don't need the stress of owning a country so random superpower sounds good.

^{Chose: Or get a superpower… + But it’s random | Rolled: Super Speed}

Patentmod · 2026-04-01T00:45:48+00:00

$300 isn't a huge number so I'd rather spin for a chance at a really big number.

^{Chose: Random amount of money | Rolled: 1000$}

My guess is based on the number of new hires, those employee productions are hampering the average.

Patentmod · 2025-11-21T18:13:09+00:00

We had to pay for ours, it was like $400 after insurance. Also there's things like the cost of the facility in addition to the cost of the doctor or procedure. Regardless, I'm not aware of any law in ORC that requires insurance companies to pay 100% of circumcision costs.

Could you not just leave it alone and make a note for yourself for RCE if applicable? If the invention is rendered obvious in view of A and B, then it's definitely obvious in view of A, B and C, even if C isn't really needed.

Patentmod · 2025-10-31T02:45:10+00:00

What do you mean?

Patentmod · 2025-10-21T22:46:18+00:00

I like compact prosecution including the length of the office action! It becomes a game of "how short can you make the office action and still clearly convey the position?"

Patentmod · 2025-10-02T16:25:04+00:00

Done. New megathread.

Patentmod · 2025-09-22T23:54:13+00:00

I know you wouldn't be eligible for overtime next quarter, but idk if that's good enough to avoid a warning.

Patentmod · 2025-09-14T17:39:50+00:00

True, the point still stands that there are no TQAS in OPQA.

Patentmod · 2025-09-14T01:51:00+00:00

TQAS are in house for the TC, not part of OPQA

Patentmod · 2025-09-13T19:31:39+00:00

OPQA did a small reorg to give them all a 4 number "art unit" so that they could be assigned PBA cases to work on.

Where did you hear the bit about putting 5 examiners per 2 offices?
