U.S. Patent 7,657,941 was filed on September 19, 2009 and issued on February 2, 2010 – only a four month pendency at a Patent Office that averages around two to three years before examination even begins. This abnormally low pendency was acheived through the accelerated examination program that requires a special petition along with a prior art search and supporting analysis.
