An extremely useful article by Naira Rezende Simmons was recently published in the The John Marshall Review of Intellectual Property Law. The article discusses the count system the USPTO uses for Examiners to incentivize efficient and thorough examination of patent applications. As you will see in the article, the USPTO heavily incentivizes a quality initial examination of a patent application with less points awarded for final office actions and notices of allowance. This article is definitely worth the read.
