Ita be nice to see more and here less
If ya catch my drift.
And as you often say – cite please or it didn’t happen.
Why don’t you actually try to make it a real law since you are so sure of yourself?
Don’t worry, pingaling. Fact is, I’ve already made some law that you are more than likely adherin to, assuming yr really dah patent agent some roun here claim ya are.
“Do you need a recap”
I thought I was clear – That falls into the “be otch on a blog comment page windmill twirling”.
Hence: No.
Ya kinda missed my advise for ya too: Why don’t you actually try to make it a real law since you are so sure of yourself?
Let me know how that works out for ya.
Funny, how long those claims have been around and no one ever seems to make it to the point to actually make them invalid – per se or not per se.
Quite the riddle, no?
Not really. The explanation for this “mystery” has also already been discussed here at some length. Do you need a recap, pingaling?
“I can explain to you why Beauregard-type claims are invalid, per se.”
I don’t really care for your explanations Sunshine. That falls into the “be otch on a blog comment page windmill twirling”.

Well, since this thread is turning into a discussion of the guidelines…
“It is highly desirable to have applicants resolve ambiguity by amending the claims during prosecution of the application rather than attempting to resolve the ambiguity in subsequent litigation of the issued patent.”
Turns out, there really are advantages to the examination system over “grant ’em all, and let Rader sort ’em out”. What’s more, even the Federal Circuit seems to think so.
ping plenty of info in the guidelines to upset the usual crowd, including Ned (Gotsa read the specification ‘fore understandin the claims) and Sunshine Malcolm (functional claiming be purely legal).
Nothing upsetting. I look forward to the USPTO actually adhering to the guidelines, for a change.
I also noticed that the guidelines commented favorably on the invalidity of a m+f claim which recites only a single means.
And I didn’t find term “purely legal” in the PDF. Can you show me where you found it?
More seriously, I don’t recall ever stating that one could not use functional language in a claim. If you like, I can explain to you why Beauregard-type claims are invalid, per se. It’s fairly straightforward. Or you can just search the archives where I’ve explained it a dozen or so times already. Of course, you’ll have to wade through a lot of troll doodie if you choose the second option.
“Anywho – plenty of info in the guidelines to upset the usual crowd, including Ned (Gotsa read the specification ‘fore understandin the claims) and Sunshine Malcolm (functional claiming be purely legal).”
Actually I noted some things in the “functional language” section that seemed to indicate a crack down.
The filter is goin haywire when Office snippets are bein rejected.

O course, we have the Office bein all namby-pamby:
“These guidelines and supplemental information do not constitute substantive rule making and hence do not have the force and effect of law. They have been developed as a matter of internal Office management and are not intended to create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable by any party against the Office. Rejections will continue to be based upon the substantive law, and it is these rejections that are appealable. Consequently, any failure by Office personnel to follow the guidelines and supplemental information is neither appealable nor petitionable.”
Congrats on a year of great posts!
Dennis, you should update “How should a future patent attorney choose a law school?” to reflect the diminished legal job market and 50% tuition hike since 2005. Normally, I’d say let the old post stay as is, but if its the most read, you owe it to your readers to give an update so they are not mislead.
Oh my lulz, 112 guidelines.

Try snapping a photo with your cellphone. See how far that gets you.
O my sht.
Rader’s coming to speak to the PTOS on the 16th.
Anybody have anything they’d like me to ask him about?
