Patent Prosecution refers to those actions that occur between filing of a patent application and its final outcome i.e., patent grant, abandonment etc. To begin with a patent practitioner should understand that an Examiner is not trained in patent drafting but is trained to examine and identify errors/faults in the claims. Further given the limited time accorded to every patent application the patent practitioner should accord due attention to the merits of the objections/rejections raised in the Office Action.
