We have an instance of just about everything named after the Prince (and Duke.) Streets. Medical Labs. You name it. [03:10] schestowitz[TR2] We have considerable experience dealing with the fin du empire of former greats such as the empire represented by the Duke. (Also, we are open to more than one language unlike maga.) [03:10] schestowitz[TR2] After the empire represented by the Duke ended, we were not averse to recognizing a new great power. But, our spider senses are tingling now. This is now the time for the empire we joined with 75 or 80 years ago to collapse. The truth is that y'all have been on a down slide for a couple of decades. And now you have started a war you have no chance of winning. (And, once again, we need to move on.) [03:10] schestowitz[TR2] There are many reasons you can't win. Possibly the biggest is that you think that living well beyond your means is the fault of Canada and the rest of the world. No one here made you make any deals.

He and his administration clearly have nothing but contempt for our people, our political system or our culture. But he can't hide his geriatric tumescence for our rare earths, potash and energy. There was a time, not long ago, when our two countries were besties. That time is never coming back.

Prior to grant, is an Exam Division supposed to know exactly the meaning that "gathered" has for experts in the field, and therefore to know that the definition in the description is not in conformity with the claim so that (for as [08:25] schestowitz[TR2] long as the definition remains) the claim is not clear (or not supported). The OD knows it now, and the TBA knows it now but, I suppose, only through the help of the opponent. Isn't it a bit much, to expect an ED to identify every instance in the docs intended for grant where clarity falls below 100% and isn't that adding disproportionately to cost and delay in examination prior to grant. Out of every 100 applications examined, h [08:25] schestowitz[TR2] ow many get to be the subject of dispute after grant? Five perhaps?

Hence Rose's warning to Applicants, themselves to be extra "careful what you ask for". With patents, as with everything else, the buyer must beware.

In any case, I'm all in favour of Europe setting out its patent monopoly adjudication stall on the basis that Applicants who try to have their cake and eat it too, by deliberately breedi [08:25] schestowitz[TR2] ng Angora Cats whenever the chance arises, ought not to prosper over here from their US-style "best practice" drafting."

But while youre reminiscing about street signs and failed monarchies, just a reminder: [18:08] schestowitz[TR2] The collapsing empire you speak of? Its the one that provides your defense, currency stability, and Netflix library. [18:08] schestowitz[TR2] Your spider senses mustve missed that Canadas economy is tied at the hip to ours, and if America sneezes, Ottawa gets frostbite. [18:08] schestowitz[TR2] And as for living beyond meanssure, we have debt. But at least our global influence isnt limited to exporting maple syrup and apologizing for our passport strength. [18:08] schestowitz[TR2] But hey, congrats on bilingual street signs and labs named after aristocrats. Just dont forget: without that declining empire, youd still be wearing red uniforms and paying taxes to a queen whose face you still print on your money [18:08] schestowitz[TR2] 3 hours ago by Krabanaughs 15th Burger [18:08] schestowitz[TR2] | 3 reactions (+1/-2) [18:08] schestowitz[TR2] Post ID: @jm+1jrn9p8w5 [18:08] schestowitz[TR2] 0 [18:08] schestowitz[TR2] It is estimated that over six million Canadians are without a doctor.
