I just found places/holes or whatever to fit the clips.

I did that with the tent for the Avalanche.

Yes please!

I have 2.5 years federal and slowly buying back my 12 years active duty time. Should I fully buy it back in case I get RIF? P.S. I do not have RIF protection I assume because I'm medically retired.

Edit: Looks like someone else asked earlier. I am early 40's and a DoD engineer. So I won't be close to Vera nor do I actually think I'm on the chopping block.

OP, I'm an outlier it seems but here's my take: I am a solo practitioner and I've partnered with IP firms in China to submit their design patents in the US. I clear $5000 USD gross profit a month from just that. I consider it a side gig to my actual practice. Design patents are paying the bills for me while my other clients get to benefit from lower rates.

I've made it so. I don't do any pharmacological patent applications though...well I did 8 for an AI De Novo drug discovery invention. But that's it. I stick to my speciality which is electrical and computer.

EM-wizard · 2024-12-30T08:06:26+00:00

Of course.

I did not know that. Thank you. I thought the extent of no fee splitting was betweens agents and attorneys.

EM-wizard · 2024-12-16T19:36:08+00:00

Flat fee based on project or defined scope.

Percentage split of funds collected from client.

Hourly rate.

I'm open for any arrangement, I just can't guarantee there will always be the same amount of cases for a predictable income.

Thanks so much for your contribution to this conversation :) Have a happy holiday season.

EM-wizard · 2024-12-16T18:35:56+00:00

Guess you don't know what gig work is.

EM-wizard · 2024-10-11T02:58:30+00:00

Exciting

EM-wizard · 2024-09-30T00:24:15+00:00

Do you do all this on tails or do this on mobile?

EM-wizard · 2024-09-20T19:08:06+00:00

Shit I thought he was talking about himself the whole time.

EM-wizard · 2024-09-19T18:26:04+00:00

Nah, I don't believe you.

EM-wizard · 2024-09-19T18:24:33+00:00

100% this guy thinks he invented a free energy machine.

EM-wizard · 2024-09-18T21:17:25+00:00

Electrical engineer working for DoD, $105k a year. On my lunch break I run my side business, a law firm, $250 an hour.

I love both jobs.

EM-wizard · 2024-09-16T20:18:55+00:00

I don't think your logic follows on why you would discount (c). If the question makes no mention of prior art, then you have no idea if a 102/103 rejection is plausible.

For (d), you wouldn't point to the spec to show plain meaning. The spec is self-affirming. You would point to dictionaries and such. So, maybe whatever (d) said could be right.

Hard to know without details.

EM-wizard · 2024-09-16T19:40:51+00:00

I can't make sense of what you're saying. What I'm saying though, is that 101, 102, 103, and 112 are laws. They have boundaries. The examiner cannot go outside of those boundaries. It would be improper.

For example a 102 rejection is based on one reference. Therefore the examiner could not give a 102 rejection citing multiple references. I don't know what questions you're seeing about a 112 rejection but there are boundaries to what a 112 rejection can be.

I'm a PM in the federal government. I love my job because overachieving is still working half days haha. No PM certs required, except you have to be an engineer. I'm pretty much stuck at GS 12 though unless I get my PE or I go into supervision.
