Thank you for your December 17, 2007 letter with the Official Action as well as the debit note enclosed.
We appreciate your efforts in providing us with the comprehensive translation of the Office Action. However, we will be obliged if you can let us have a brief overview of an Office Action first whenever there is one. And unless receiving our express instructions, please do not incur costs more than US$150 for translating and reporting an Office Action.
As you know, the present application is a very special case for which our client will most probably not go on to file a response. Besides, our client generally will not pay any expenses incurred in this regard. Considering the above, we ask you to kindly understand the situation and let us have a reduction, and if possible, favorable enough to meet our budget control.
