Patent Filing and Prosecution / Design Patent VR

Should the drawings represent the distorted image actually shown on a head mounted display or what the image appears like when the viewer sees both left and right screens?

If the entire image is large and a 360 degree viewable image, how do you represent portions of the image?  Just show each portion and indicate what direction the user is viewing?

If a virtual object is rotatable, do you need to have drawings for each view? front, back, sides, perspective?

Hi George,

When banning users, the system now only works one single time for any given login session.  After that, it gives the error

     Token verification failed. Please go back and try again.

for every additional attempt to ban another user.  Since spammers often create a multiple account for each new post, and even when they don't do that they often show up in bunches, this is simply unworkable.  This is a new issue with the new version of the forum software.

My recommendation is that you quarantine new users' first posts until someone approves their first post (by determining that it's not just another spammer posting 33 separate messages linking to their Russian malware website).

If the first post is determined to be relevant to IP (as opposed to outright spam, or an attempt to build a "totally not a spammer" persona by posting "Excellent content, I recommend your blog to others"), then the user can be approved for more posting, else the user can be deleted before filling up the server's entire hard drive with garbage.

There's a typo in the assignee name on an issue fee payment form we submitted with an issue fee recently. I expect that this will cause the USPTO to print the incorrect name on the face of the printed patent. 

Will it cause searches by assignee name to fail with respect to this patent, e.g., at the USTPTO or on google?

I need to decide whether to withdraw the patent from issue to correct the error or instead file a certificate of correction.

Hey,

Long time lurker, first time poster.  I have 3 inventors.  1 seems like a holdout that might have some employment "noise" going on as to whether he assigns.  Would you record the first 2 inventors and then record the 3rd if and when he comes around?  Can I record 2x on the same property?  I always done it one and done.

Thanks!

Thanks for the heads up.  We removed the menu.  We will put it back after we have updated the website's content, and we will fix the overlaping issue.

We will fix the "Other" issue.

Trademark Forum / Office delays in entering amen...

Anyone else having delays or non-entering of amendments in TEAS ?

My amendments from 1(a) to 1(b) are not being entered at all after several months, and examiner said to wait until some form of OA issues, which is has not.

Solo or working for a practice, either way I'm trying to find out -- how many hours does it *actually* take people to get a patent drafted? (Or a reply drafted.) Never mind what the law firm says it's supposed to be. I hope some people here will reply to my inquiry.

If you're working for a firm, rather than solo, the question really is how many hours you are allocated.  In particular, if you have a large-volume client with a contracted flat rate per application and per response.

In quite some years now in patent prep and pros, I am often told it should take at most 25 to 30 hours to draft a patent application (including doing the drawings). I am in the electrical/software/mechanical arts. I don't know where these numbers come from, but I find nothing realistic about that. To draft a thorough, careful application always takes me at least 40 hours. I find it not at all rare to require 50 or 60 hours. For some complex technologies -- and if for example the inventor disclosure is less than helpful, and if client requirements are particularly picky -- it's not entirely rare that I need 80 hours. (I wonder if many patent practitioners don't understate their hours in order to look efficient.)

My questions for everyone is, what would you say is your typical or average time to draft a patent application? What are your higher-end but not infrequent times? What are your outlier times?

Similar questions for replies to an OA. I'm told it should take eight hours. It typically takes me twice that long, or longer, especially if I am addressing and arguing issues under 101, 112, and 103. What do other people find to be their typical real times to get a good first draft done.

It would be interesting to hear answers from people in chemical, biotech and pharma as well.
