Steve Walmsley received a completely favorable decision on appeal

Steve Walmsley received a completely favorable decision on appeal at the USPTO Patent Trial
and Appeal Board (PTAB) in a patent application with broad claims covering an important water
quality sensor invention jointly developed by a major home products company and a leading
university in the scientific water quality sensing field.  The examiner had issued a half dozen
office actions applying multitudes of references over several years of prosecution in stubborn
attempts to reject the application.  But the PTAB completely reversed the examiner on all counts.
Accordingly, the patent is set to issue with lengthy patent term extension and broad claims.
