FYI, as an urban American I had never heard the term rough sleeping. Some brief Googling leads me to believe this is an alternative term for homelessness mostly used in the UK. You may consider changing the title to include the word homeles

Not an expert, but I think the point of having the receipt of postmark gives you a paper trail that says you filed on that day. Whether or not it made it to the USPTO. I assume this means you would have to ship from the post office directly

Yes, I am currently working on a provisional with him. To be clear, he does not work for the USPTO. He helps companies file patents and has taken a test to prove that he is capable of doing so.

There are a number of household name corporations that also act as patent trolls in their respective industries. Somewhat like the Luxottica/Oakley story, they put smaller companies in weak positions, forcing them to sell at a low valu

Here's a little weekend project I put together after finding it frustrating to plan IKEA trips. It basically generates a shopping list with item locations and notifies you if there are quantity issues. The code is pretty hacky and ther

Being aware of LED flicker and having been to places with both 50 Hz and 60 Hz AC, the places with 50 Hz are definitely worse. Extremely easy to perceive. Plus, it can be difficult to take photos under this light. Also, most of the "Ed
