<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have an application that's in suspension awaiting resolution of a prior-filed application that received a non-final OA. That party filed an extension to respond, and then subsequently missed its final deadline to respond. That deadline
was nearly four months ago and the USPTO has yet to issue an abandonment notice to the other party. Ideally, that mark should've been dead by now.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I know I'm not allowed to contact the EA on that application myself, but is there any other method by which I can prompt a review of that application's status? The only thing I can think of is to contact the EA on our own application to
ask them if they can do something internally, but I'd prefer to take another route if possible.<o:p></o:p></p>
