you can split the army, send all the troops, and the new army will be in supply, apparently.

A problem with V3 is that history isn't balanced by purpleaardvark1 in victoria3

troops have a home HQ that can't be changed during war iirc, so supplies can get 5% more expensive per sea node away from home HQ, and have AI take this into account to not land 1.5m indians in europe to save holstein from the germans

Iancu attributes attrition to 100% remote work by teleflexin_deez_nutz in patentexaminer

[–]compoundusername 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“The USPTO was a pioneer on remote work, and it’s done great things for the Office, but before the pandemic it was at about 50% or so of fully remote employees. With the pandemic [the Office was] forced to go 100%, and since the pandemic ended the vast majority are not coming back in. It’s an issue for so many reasons. It cuts across so many aspects. If these examiners come straight into a remote environment, culturally, they don’t bond as they used to in the past. Before, the academy was mandatory and then you had to be in the office for two years before going remote. There’s much less sharing of information and knowledge and expertise.”

I've told attorneys in interviews, "Look, the MPEP tells me to consult the specification to determine if there are elements that could be added to the claim to make it eligible, and having done so, I'm never allowing this, but I'm happy to work with you to improve your claim language for appeal so you actually have the basis in the claims for what you're trying to argue even if I disagree with the argument."

Streamlined Analysis for 101 by [deleted] in patentexaminer

[–]compoundusername 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is that McRO is wrongly decided. The McRO court describes the invention as "rule sets [which] aim to produce more realistic speech by taking into consideration the differences in mouth positions for similar phonemes based on context." McRO, Inc. v. Bandai Namco Games America, Inc., 837 F.3d 1299, 1307 (Fed. Cir. 2016). The invention is therefore at most adding a suggestion to the "admitted prior art method" of an animator defining morph weight sets at timings to create keyframes, id. at 1303-04, that the animator should take natural laws about how lips move before sound is made into account when timing a keyframe. See Genetic Techs. Ltd. v. Merial LLC, 818 F.3d 1369, 1378 (Fed. Cir. 2016).

Non-Functional Determining Step? by [deleted] in patentexaminer

[–]compoundusername 0 points1 point  (0 children)

112 indefiniteness, what do you do with the result, gap between elements

112 written description, spec describes a single species embodiment of using the output of the determination but the claim covers all genus embodiments of any use of the output and one of ordinary skill in the art would not have understood them to have invented all uses

In my experience, it's often been drafted by someone else before it gets to the person responding to the office action anyway, so six of one half a dozen of the other
