In 4., the EBA essentially says that patent monopoly claims must always be interpreted when asessing patentability. This aligns with 17. where the EBA says that the finding that the language of a claim is clear and unambiguous is an act of interpretation. It appears the EBA feels that anything that goes beyond just reading the claims, is an 'act of interpretation' where the" ● Jun 21 [09:07] *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has left #techbytes [09:28] *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has joined #techbytes ● Jun 21 [11:29] *rianne_ (~rianne@qiysgnj2chdjg.irc) has joined #techbytes [11:29] *asusbox (~rianne@qiysgnj2chdjg.irc) has joined #techbytes [11:38] *asusbox has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [11:38] *rianne_ has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [11:53] *asusbox (~rianne@qiysgnj2chdjg.irc) has joined #techbytes [11:54] *rianne_ (~rianne@qiysgnj2chdjg.irc) has joined #techbytes ● Jun 21 [12:01] *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has left #techbytes [12:04] *asusbox has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [12:04] *rianne_ has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [12:04] *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has joined #techbytes [12:29] *x-amarsh04 (~amarsh04@qh2x9gca8kjd4.irc) has joined #techbytes ● Jun 21 [13:50] *psydroid3 (~psydroid@36imbvshpgubk.irc) has joined #techbytes ● Jun 21 [14:11] *guideddrone (~guideddrone@f35cf2eqas34n.irc) has joined #techbytes [14:14] schestowitz[TR3] youmhttps://www.thelayoff.com/t/1jy7wbjp4 [14:14] schestowitz[TR3] " [14:14] schestowitz[TR3] RA Lists Being Made for Consulting - July [14:14] schestowitz[TR3] Senior leaders being asked to identify final list for a July round in Consulting Americas this week [14:14] schestowitz[TR3] 13 hours ago by Anonymous [14:14] schestowitz[TR3] | 225 views | 5 reactions (+5/-0) | 4 replies (last 56 minutes ago) | Reply [14:14] schestowitz[TR3] Post ID: @OP+1jy7wbjp4 [14:14] schestowitz[TR3] Click to get Alert when there is a new reply.

Associate Partners, Partners, and Senior Partners in Consulting have been hit very hard by RA this year. Sadly seems like ones who really sell and deliver to clients hit the hardest. Meanwhile the bean counter administrator ones remain.

[14:14] schestowitz[TR3] Otherwise, it's just a waste of time to just after the small fry - the managers always get the low hanging fruit, but the ones who do do nothing and have big mouths at the meetings get away with their big salaries and perks. Time to make some changes particularly in Raleigh.

Nepotism rules at AI (All Indians) IBM. And they need to do the same things in Krabanaugh's F&O organization, particualrly CIO wasters. It's all for a good cause - Alvind's $100 milllion bonus for 2026 ...And the $320 stock price !

Claim 1 involves a method of preparing a "barley-based beverage" using a barley plant according to claim 7. Claim 1 does not explicitly state this, but it recites all features of claim 7, thus the barley plant used must be one of claim 7. Claim 7 has been found inventive by the OD.
