Things are a little on the mellow side right now.  I’m not really running around like a chicken with my head cut off for once.  Monday I had an appointment with my patent attorney to get going with taking my patent from provisional to full utility.  There are some new rules implemented at the USPTO that will take effect November 1 and she wants to get my application in under the wire.   

My graphic designer that is doing my packaging finished up the final version of the graphics this week.  On Wednesday we both agreed it was complete and he hit the all might “SEND” button!  It is now in the hands of a Taiwanese packaging / printer person.  I have not been able to get an update on the tooling and the first sample set of 50 completed Grill Charms™ sets because my US sourcing agent can’t get through to our guy in Taiwan who’s traveling in China this past week during a Typhoon! (My English teacher would have failed me for that run on sentence!)  The weather is making communications horrible, so he couldn’t really hear a word our overseas guy said.  He should be back in Taiwan beginning of next week, then I will know more about the progress.  We are all still hoping for arrival the end of November!
