There are some tools out there that can help with the drafting of patent applications too. I've seen tools that can predict the art unit the patent might end up, catch errors in patent applications being drafted, and even tools that ca

Patent prosecution is the process of drafting the patent application and working with the patent office to get a patent issued. So it's the work done to secure a patent before the patent is asserted in a lawsuit.

I'm sure it's purely coincidence, but interestingly Trump's also holding his Social Media Summit right now.

Actually fees have actually been fairly flat in patent prosecution over the recent years. Unlike other legal work, it's very common for the work in patent prosecution to be performed for fixed fees (e.g., $10k/patent application).

I know he's previously talked about wanting his kids to grow up in the UK. Perhaps having finished Apple Park closes one chapter of his life and finally gives him a good enough of a reason to go back to the UK.

I haven't watched the videos or looked at the materials Project Veritas posted but none of these quotes seem all that unreasonable (speaking as somebody who did not vote for Clinton or Trump in 2016). They seem to be talking about Russ

The person for my hometown on that website seems to only have been born there but moved away before elementary school, so I'm not sure how that's really all that interesting.

>Apple's acquired properties are quietly extinguished and replaced with Apple branding. Musk wouldn't have the temperament to play second fiddle to anybody else. Beats as a brand is still around and producing new products.

A Steve Jobs that had spent some time in the wilderness away from Apple to mature and grow. Musk is probably more similar to Jobs before he left Apple the first time.

One big reason to densify the suburbs (speaking of the bay area in particular) is that they're in Silicon Valley and that's where most of the tech jobs are (e.g., Apple, Google, Facebook, etc.). These cities are willing to let com

And where are we going to find teachers, nurses, baristas, garbagemen, plumbers, etc. to service the wealthy homeowners when none of these professions pay anywhere enough for people to live on in places like the Bay Area? Soon places like t

Maybe most consumers don't really care as long as they're able to connect their phones to it to play music. Thus, their margins being tight enough as it is, car makers see the infotainment system as a good area to pinch pennies.

Not on such a broad idea, but a specific implementation for accomplishing such a task is much more likely to be patentable, and would be very useful to protect against a copycat that is just purely copying.

Both sides employ outside counsel. They're large multinational law firms that charge a high hourly rate (high 3-figures to 4-figures depending on the seniority of the attorneys).

I have had the same experience in the US. An assistant rather than the ophtalmologist is the one that does the vision test (I guess it's called the refraction?). The assistant then dilutes my eyes and after that is when the ophtalmolog

It depends on the vendor. Warby Parker, for example, requires you to scan/upload the prescription given by your doctor, which obviously has a date on it. I guess it's always possible to just edit out or change the date on it thoug

I think part of that is, as it turned out, how the towers in a park model ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Towers_in_the_park ) was implemented wasn't actually very conducive to human-scale living.

I don't think Apple claimed that they invented any of those things listed. Seems like a bit of a strawman.
