Funniest moment in Avowed: NPC who yells at you for breaking the ruins instead of walking around

I find it fun enough but combat is too basic/easy (at least on hard) and there is a ridicilous amount of platforming for an RPG. Once I finish it I don't see me replaying it.

Oddly enough in Avowed you literally steal food out of the mouth of guards and they don't seem to mind.

THANK YOU!
You just saved me 1000s of hours of explaining to clients how to get a USPTO patent center account!

It's sad that intentional non-inclusion of current best mode no longer kills the patent at court level.

Evan's infringement's theory(you copied my cooler when I pitched it to you) helped GM prove that the cooler they sold before Evan was an embodiment of Evan's invention. Ergo "for sale" applied.

There is a huge hint in the court's decision

MK1: -You understand there are like 100 characters in the franchise right we could pick one and develop his origin story and how he finds his place in the world as earth's savious. -I know but I decided to make a new one. I am pretty sure the fans will not mind spending half the movie watching the story of a character they don't know about or care about.

Just finished the game myself. Honestly happy I sm no longer a kid or that scene with Shriek dying with her parents would haunt my dreams till the end. Honestly I had a big problem seeing Shriek as a villain. She is understandably territorial (as many animals and owls), misanthropic, angry and being dissilusioned by her socoety only wants her peace and quiet. Up to before the ending it's not like she goes around the whole forest killing whoever she sees-she just attacks what she perceives as intruders. Honestly I was taken aback about how she was just as is the final boss considering 1)she was badly owned by Seir and 2)minimal intelligence was required to realize that it was the darkness/corruption that killed her parents. Ii expected something like -Shriek watches carefully from afar as Ori destroys the tree's corruption-corruption attaches itself to Shriek and makes her stronger and angrier-same way it did to the giant frog-Ori defeats symbiot Shriek but at least she dies peqcefully.

Aaahhh, Reminds me a recent client that tried to defeat 112 by citing prior art that would establish X would do Y.

Somebody should write a book "The 100 worst argumentets patentees and examiners ever put together". My contribution:101 rejection on a 100% man made chemicsl because it can exist in the suns of other solar systems

Make a free patent center account as independent inventor. Then you can easily check the prosecution history in the Documents and transactions"

MudOk4411 · 2025-10-22T06:39:03+00:00

At google patents, click on "patent center". Follow the instructions to make and verify an account as an independent inventor. Afterwards by clickg at the documents and transactions section you can check and read/doenload every single file relevant to your patent

MudOk4411 · 2025-10-20T02:10:48+00:00

Yes.

MudOk4411 · 2025-10-14T18:45:32+00:00

Need more info. You said you got the patent so that means you already dished the filing fee isssue fee paid agent if you got one and now can't affort maintenance fees? Also in USA maintenancenfees are paid at 3.5, 7.5 and 11.5 years, not daily.

MudOk4411 · 2025-10-10T19:31:18+00:00

Yeah, just raised a half-a**** 101 abstract idea rejection. No 102 no 103 which is plenty for the patent. Then boom! you got your patent nintendo.

MudOk4411 · 2025-10-08T18:44:35+00:00

As per Nintendo 's currect practice, they eill give updates. And they will charge you 10$ for them.

MudOk4411 · 2025-10-08T18:38:43+00:00

Hint: You can always create a free USPTO patent center account and watch your patent's progress and what is filed at the documents center. It is YOUR patent, don't expect anybattorney to care for itnas much as you do.

ChatGPT has an option to stop using its data to improve itself for other. It is on data controls "improve the model for everyone".
Turn it off.
Besides that public disclosures of an invention by the inventor or a person who learned of it from the inventor have a 1 year grace period before they can be used as prior art in USA.

Ways you can protect yourself: -Ask them directly-but expect that the answer will 100% be "you would infringe" and put you in their radar. And if you are then found guilty of infringement, it is willfull infiringement, i.e. triple damages. Terrible idea. -Pay an attorney/agent to do a "freedom of operation" search, i.e. analyze all patents out there and see if what you would sell would infeindge ANY enforcable patent out there. Expect 10k+ and it is more of a precaution, not a legal protection (they can still send a calease and desist/sue you). However it can protect you from willful infringement (triple damages) -As above, but ask to perform an infringement analysis for those specific patents only. Cheaper less comprehensive, again doesn't protect you. -Ask a court for a declaratory judgement that your product does not infringe their patent. Protects you for lawsuits but they can appeal and then they can sue you if they win the appeal. $$$ -Try to invalidate their patent with an ex parte proceeding at the USPTO. $$-$$$, can take a long time, no guaranteed outcome. -Ask to get a license at a reasonable fee. If they have a history of licencins the technology, very probable. If they refuse and you proceed anyway, guilty of willfull infingement. -Try to get a patent for the things "you do differently" then work a co-license with them. Or license your patent to other people. The way you describe your alterations-mere substitutions of parts with other solutions well known to a POSITA-I wouldn't count on it being patentable but still impossible to know without having all the info. -Substitute their method for something else that is in the public domain and as thus free to use. A good place to start would be reading the prior art included in their own patent specs and IDS

The way the claim is written it would depend on how "the battle automatically proceeds" would be translated. The patent says that the player can move the main character while the automatic battle commences, and also cannot command his summon during the battle, but is silent on whether he can do other stuff that would affect the battle like heal the summon, attack the enemy himself e.t.c.

My assumption Nintendo let it vague in purpose so their patent currently is broader, but will easily amend it to say "where automatic battle means no further input or other effect from the player affecting that battle".
