Shut up and get back to work.

@TheIpHawk @patentbuddy @uspto Why just bag on public PAIR? Private PAIR and RAM are equally as arcane and useless.

[John Behles @johnbehles]

@patent_maven @patentbuddy I’ll be more specific. He seems to have a soft spot for 101 in regard to bio but has no issue with 101 being used to trash software inventions.

@Anticipatlaw Looks like Berkheimer is having zero impact.

[John Behles @johnbehles]

@patentlyo Great article. Should be pushed to the main page.

[John Behles @johnbehles]

@GatlinMcArthur Surprising to anyone not involved in IP or venture funding.

[John Behles @johnbehles]

@mriplawblog The office actions are also very generic, merely lumping together all claims under a single anticipation rejection. I have several where 20 claims were rejected in two paragraphs. I’ve found the ombudsman to be helpful in these instances.

[John Behles @johnbehles]

@mriplawblog My longest pending and most frustrating cases are in 3700. Examiners tend to view simple mechanical inventions as inherently obvious, IMO. I have a client that has filed and won on two pre-appeals and just received a new non-final allegedly rejecting all claims yet again

@PatentDallas Too bad PTAB doesn’t care.

[John Behles @johnbehles]

@IP_Hulk Hulk uses quotation marks properly!

[John Behles @johnbehles]

It’s not that no precedent exists, specific precedent exists that is contradictory (see McRO BASCOM, etc...). A defense attorney presenting such a position in a court would be subject to sanctions for adopting a frivolous legal position. https://t.co/vqb4k8xxLB

@patentsales @xfields @patentbuddy Exactly. Plenty of firms still off contingency fee arrangements.

[John Behles @johnbehles]

@xfields @patentbuddy @patentsales I don’t think he said that she initiated a lawsuit. It just says she approached them with the patent, probably a licensing offer.

@Popehat @JonahNRO This has to be a Tim and Eric skit.

[John Behles @johnbehles]

@JYSexton My 7 and 10 year old daughters love the books and the podcasts. Thank you @jockowillink

[John Behles @johnbehles]

@uspto @Anuj_Desai_ Seven hours and counting. This is absurd.

[John Behles @johnbehles]

@patentbuddy Post receiving notice of an allowable/allowed claim a prosecutor should shovel I reams of dependent claims. With underlying independent allowed no examination or fees for such dependent claims would be necessary.

[John Behles @johnbehles]

@patentbuddy None. When you can’t quantify the first definition you can replace it or modify it as you please.

[John Behles @johnbehles]

@DavidPSheldon @JNGross The beauty of ON is that it (1) cannot be used as principle evidence in a rejection; (2) is expressly exlcuded from use to prove what is state of the art. Also, can require an affidavit from an examiner.
