How does the patent examiner proceed once an appeal brief has been filed?

9/17/2017

 
Once the appeal brief is filed, the Examiner meets with his supervisor and one other examiner to discuss the rejection, your appeal brief, and whether they want to send the case to the Board.  At this stage, the Examiner can withdraw the rejection or file an Examiner’s Answer.
