    Thanks to all for your support on it. The unhappiest part of the
    outcome is not about the address requirement, but that the decision
    in the Federal Circuit, which relieved the PTO of its duty to comply
    with notice and comment rulemaking altogether, gives the PTO even
    more freedom to ignore its constituencies and do whatever it wants.
    So my effort appears to have been a significant net loss. Expect to
    see more capricious rule changes without even an opportunity to
    comment. <br>
    <br>
    But I'm optimistic that the patent side will continue to fight the
    good fight - they are treated even more cavalierly than we are on
    the trademark side. Here's hoping that eventually this agency will
    realize that it will perform better if it works with us towards a
    common good, rather than solely pursuing its own self-interest using
    tunnel vision.<br>
