Patent Examiner

Thoroughly read and review patent applications involving technology from the fluid

handling, valve and valve actuator fields of endeavor (i.e., check valves, gate

valves, butterfly valves, rotary valves, ball valves, pressure regulators, multi-way

valves, gate valves, plug valves, float valves, pilot valves, choke valves, pivoted

valves, electromagnetic or electrically actuated valves, micro-sized valves and more;

lost-motion actuators, fluid and non-fluid actuators, pilot or servo type motor

actuators, electromagnetic actuators, and mechanical movement actuators; and fluid

handling systems involving pumps, compressors, a variety of valves for fluid pressure

or fluid flow regulation, and accumulators) in order to determine whether said

applications comply with USPTO laws, regulations, and policies

Apply search strategy to comprehensively search a number of technology classes,

subclasses and non-patent literature to determine if claimed invention is novel,

possesses utility and/or can be reproduced by one skilled in the art

Develop Office actions directed towards patent attorneys and pro se inventors

discussing which components of the patent application are objected to, which claims

are rejected or objected to in view of a pre-existing technology, and/or which claims

are deemed allowable in view of USPTO laws, regulations, policies and procedures

Conduct interviews with patent attorneys and pro se inventors to discuss why their

patent application received objections and/or rejections and to discuss what changes

may place the application in condition for allowance.
