…as the patent geek, though, I’d really like to talk about mechanical pencils. ;-). This Uniball Kuru Toga is a current favorite.

I came back to #lawtwitter for patent law convos…and happily discovered…pen pics. My daily ink: Muji 0.7 gels; blue, black, and red. And there’s always a blue Zebra G 301 in my backpack. I’m no #penfluencer like @strowhiro, but the firm keeps these in the supply room now. ;-)

well, the Rothschild Patent [sic] (published application) is at least evidence that continuations-in-part provide an easy way to blur priority dates. .

Mosaic Brands v. Ridge Wallet matches the “easy button patent claim construction review” pattern for me. De novo review by the Federal Circuit, as required? Or did the panel hit the easy button and adopt the district court’s construction? We’ll never know.

How about providing the patent number in your press release about your new patent? Or at least the country. Just a thought.

I'm slowly rebuilding my online patent life. Twitter is a bit of a baby step of sorts. I've been gone (or at least inactive) for a loooong time. I've forgotten how it works, really. But I sure do remember the "is this thing on?" feeling.

We discussed the recent CAFC decision in Mosaic Brands v Ridge Wallet at our @mstiplaw caselaw lunch today. Last night, prepping for today, I remembered that I bought one of the original Ridge Wallets…I think on Kickstarter. Then I forgot to share it during lunch! 🤦🏻‍♂️. #patents

Now, about that trademark.

U.S. Patent No. 7,655,116 - issued in 2010.

I notice the same patent markings every year when I open the pool. Not sure how I've missed this one all these years - it's front and center!. U.S. Patent No. 7,655,116 is directed to a sacrificial anode. a great thing to have in a salt water pool!. #Patents #ArtOfIP

And it's IP, so I'd say THE coolest.

We literally just felt this "roll" under our feet and across the living room as we're watching a baseball game. #toledo #ohio #earthquake.
