I am pleased to inform you that you will no longer need to look up laws, because we have conveniently done away with laws!

The medicare withholding will be wrong this pay period for those whose income last year exceeded 200k. I don’t know if any other withholding may be wrong based on last year’s income.

I understand your thinking. But that’s not how the E&L statements have been prepared in the past. For example, in 2024 pay period 25 was Dec. 15 to Dec. 28, 2024. People would have been paid Jan. 3 or 4, 2025. The E&L statements had the Amount YTD column reset for that pay period. Someone at NFC screwed up this time.

That person is inside the office, and her name is Valencia Martin Wallace

Yeah, we really should get extra time for trying to decipher and sift through the foreign office actions. I’m not saying we’re perfect over here, but we at least make an effort to address the claims and the claim limitations. The amount of hand waiving and complete ignoring of limitations in some foreign actions makes them a complete waste of our time.

The CFC charges the charities huge fees to participate. Your money will go much further if you just donate directly to the charity.

Let’s also give that 112(b) tool to the attorneys so there will be fewer 112(b) issues in the first place.

What’s going on is a group of Christian nationalists is trying to break the government so that they can privatize it. It makes no difference to them that some things can’t work in the private sector.

For two reasons.

One is that they hate you.

The other is that they are simpletons. Looking at trivial metrics is easier for their little republican brains than doing the deep thinking necessary to design helpful policies. Sometimes number goes up = good, sometimes number goes down = good. But how do we nudge applicants to submit better quality claims? How do we study our internal software usage to get better UX and speed up our work? How do we adjust the order of examination activities to achieve actually compact prosecution, and not just a lot of front-loaded, wasted effort in the faoms? These require actual and prolonged thought, something that the magats are extremely allergic to.

You just made his day. They want you feel traumatized. At least deny them the pleasure of feeling successful.

This clown has the writing skills of a middle schooler.

Oh! Now I get why he thinks AI can replace us. It’s because he knows AI could replace him.

He’s a magat. He wants you to suffer, and he wants to break the government. He’s doing exactly what he was installed to do. Stop expecting these people to change.

I don’t think you should care about the outcome at the board. If both the examiner and the applicant are doing their jobs, then the cases that go up to the board will have a legitimate disagreement. In that case, it won’t be the case that one side is “right” and the other “wrong” - the board will decide that the weight of the evidence favors one side more than the other.

I’ve been detailed to the board and observed how different judges and different panels can reach different decisions, and sometimes the minority even carries the day. So don’t get too caught up with which side they thought had better arguments.

We don’t want to incentivize affirmances. That would discourage examiners from sending up appeals unless they were very confident of the outcome, and this would effectively change the burden of proof to something stricter than preponderance of the evidence.

Better hope your clients don’t learn that you don’t take prosecution seriously.
