The Word for today is "fear the Lord." The Lord is not going to reveal Himself to those who don't fear Him.
My attorney called and said that my First Office Action came in from the patent office and nothing bad really stands out, and we need to meet. Humm, guess I should take a check with me, huh? Any donations?
What is First Office Action? According to BitLaw.com:
The first formal correspondence from the Patent and Trademark Office concerning the patentability of the invention is in the form of a first "office action," which is normally mailed to the applicant's patent attorney. This is generally received about nine months after the application was filed, although the actual time can vary considerably depending upon the technical field of the invention.
The first office action will usually contain reasons for any adverse action, objection, or additional requirements. If the invention is not considered patentable subject matter, the claims will be rejected. If a patent is rejected, it is generally because the claims are not new in comparison to the prior art, or because the improvements made over the prior art are obvious. It is not uncommon for some or all of the claims to be rejected on the first action by the examiner; relatively few applications are allowed as filed.
If two or more inventions are claimed in a single application, and are regarded by the Office to be of such a nature that a single patent should not be issued for both of them, the applicant will be required to limit the application to one of the inventions. The other invention may be made the subject of a separate application which, if filed while the first application is still pending, will be entitled to the benefit of the filing date of the first application. This separate application is referred to as a "divisional application."
“There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.” (1 John 4:18)
