How big are these patent applications getting?

[SoCalIP]

I dont think individual file wrappers get to 25 lbs, but there can be several file wrappers to one application . . usually loosely rubber banded together so as to make them inconvenient to separate. . and then there are those huge IDS submissions. Those are great and can fill up big ole boxes getting closer to 25 lbs each.

ooo, and these are all kept on shelves that can be much taller than some vertically challenged types who work there.

it can be an issue for some, just not the main one.
