"Last week, Andrew T. Ramer dropped something of a bombshell when he resigned from Ocean Tomo, where he had been head of the transactions business and, as such, in charge of organising the firm's groundbreaking IP auctions.

"Rights owners are now willing to do deals that involve good IP and at reasonable prices - not just in the US, but in Europe and Asia as well." There are also more operating companies than ever before in buying-mode, Ramer explained, and some are getting very good at it."

I'd like to draw your attention to Dennis Crouch's latest posting on Patenly O, presenting an actual estimation of waiting times for a first USPTO Office Action .
I don't know if the statistics refer to all US Applications, i.e. including those filed as a PCT National Phase. As far as I know, Applications filed as a national phase of a PCT Application take longer than Applications originally submitted as a US Application.
