[Patentpractice] Application sitting unexamined for nearly 3 years

[Krista Jacobsen]

Hi all,

A client filed its first application in November 2021 and has since filed
two more. All of them are just sitting there:

Other than filing continuations on Track 1 (which, I learned, can result in
the Track 1 examiner grabbing the originally-filed application and
examining both at the same time), is there any trick to getting the USPTO
to move them along?

I feel bad for the client, which is a small company that would like to get
some patents to help with funding. The prospect of PTA doesn't help them at
this point.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Krista
