Obvious, but no one ever saw it until the inventor did.
My brother-in-laws brother made such an observation and got his patent.
I loaned him money to pursue getting his product to market. Now I worry about getting paid back.
“Obvious, but no one ever saw it until the inventor did.”
You’re not supposed to notice. The PTAB certainly doesn’t.
They have a patent killing ratio of 80-90%.
It is a creation of the Silicon Valley lobby. They wrote it, and Michelle Lee was the head of the USPTO, appointed by Obama.
What did Michelle Lee do before she ran the patent office? Glad you asked- she was deputy general counsel and head of patents and patent strategy for Google.
I see from the thread that this is Hussein Obama’s handy work.
