Tracking the progress of patents through the application process can be like watching paint dry (note, I like watching paint dry). While the USPTO has been relatively consistent in hitting two-to-three year timelines, sometimes the process can drag out. But at other times, when it rains, it pours...
Just a few days ago I was describing my most recent patent, displaying securities market information. Only a few days later I found out that I had yet another, unrelated patent granted - 9,961,721 "User interface for oven: info mode".
'721 is the most recent of several utility and design patents that came out of work on a touchscreen oven users interface for BSH Home Appliances, including patents for a demo mode and an oven timer.
