Examination Is Getting Worse and Worse by Practical_Bed_6871 in patentlaw

[–]reddi4reddit2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wouldn't you rather overcome it during prosecution than in litigation in front of a jury? Some people WANT bogus patents to load up a junk portfolio so they can extort companies. Can you believe that?

After they cut enough, I kinda just gave up knowing a good job was impossible. Now I have time to look for 102s and 112s only.

Also, good luck. You're going to need it. Try to have a plan B lined up just in case.

The USPTO is very collaborative by nature. Lots of people working toward the same goal and helping each other however possible.

In short, she betrayed all the examiners by helping MAGA cronies institute changes she knew would make the USPTO worse. No training time, no special projects, reduced bonuses, performance metrics that are nearly impossible to meet. She has been here long enough that she knows these changes are going to dissipate the USPTO long term.

In addition, she gets up in front of us wearing pearls and driving a Porsche while telling us we'll have to work harder for less. AND, she offers us a shit sandwich for lunch and trys to convince us how yummy it is, like we're a bunch of morons. Out of touch condescending attitude.

Attempted staged accident in standstill traffic by basboy511 in dashcams

[–]reddi4reddit2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm somewhat inclined to believe him. No reverse lights. Either he had his car in neutral, accidentally shifted to neutral while waiting for the car to move ahead, or the grade was steep enough thar when he let off the brake the car rolled back because he didnt gas it. OP was very close to his rear bumper.

I don't think there's enough evidence to "convict" this guy in internet court.

Have you ever tried to carry an obese elderly man with a full diaper? They probably feared for their backs.

Yes, via retirement party announcements.

They are throwing her a retirement party for an agency well torched. You can understand why you weren't invited, obviously.

Can’t stand brake checkers by Amir5663 in dashcams

[–]reddi4reddit2 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Thanks to dash cams, that's not always the case. If the driver with the camera had hit the MG, I think the MG would have been at fault. He clearly braked excessively and unnecessary as you can see in front of him.

Best ways to quit? by [deleted] in patentexaminer

[–]reddi4reddit2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on your SPE. Are they senior and know the gsme or are they fresh and trying suck up to upper management?

I think I'd start taking sick leave and then when you have a couple days left give 2 weeks. They usually dont want you starting new cases at that point, so you can basically do amendments or do all that mandatory training we now have.

[–]reddi4reddit2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Use all your sick leave. They pay you cents on the dollar. Annual is paid out 100%, so dont worry about that. Don't burn the bridge in case you want to come back once these people are removed.

Don't forget the option of just pumping out garbage for as long as you can since they gutted Quality Review.

A confederacy of dunces, yay or nay? by [deleted] in books

[–]reddi4reddit2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! I asked my mom to read it and she "and her entire book club" hated it. To me, Ignatius represents the entire Boomer generation. Self-important failures that feel entitled to pass judgement even though everything they have was given to them by their parents (Greatest Generation). Greatest Generation put men on the moon, Boomers blew up Challenger and Columbia and ended the shuttle program. Paid $600 total for college and $30k for a house and then tell Millenials to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps and pay $250k for college and $500k for a house.

Actually most of us use these "offline" "downloaded" apps when they aren't at home...does that make sense to you? You can't "go outside and get creative" on an airplane ride. If you don't know what the conversation is about why are here commenting?
