adequacy of disclosure

Read a random definition: Supplemental Jurisdiction

A quick definition of adequacy of disclosure:

Adequacy of disclosure refers to the requirement that a patent application must provide enough detailed information for someone skilled in the field to make and use the invention. The application must also disclose the best way the inventor knows to make and use the invention, and show that the inventor was in full possession of the invention on the application's filing date. If a patent fails to meet any of these requirements, it may be rejected or invalidated.

A more thorough explanation:

Adequacy of disclosure refers to the requirement that a patent application must provide enough information for someone skilled in the relevant field to make and use the invention. This includes disclosing the best way the inventor knows to make and use the invention, and showing that the inventor was in full possession of the invention on the application's filing date.

If a patent fails to meet any of these requirements, it may be rejected. An issued patent with an inadequate disclosure is invalid, although the challenger has to overcome the presumption of validity.

Let's say an inventor has created a new type of battery that is more efficient than any other battery on the market. In order to obtain a patent for this invention, the inventor must provide a detailed description of how the battery is made and how it works. This description must be clear enough for someone skilled in the field of battery technology to understand and replicate the invention.

If the inventor fails to provide enough information, the patent may be rejected or invalidated. For example, if the inventor only provides a vague description of the battery's components and how they work together, this may not be enough to satisfy the adequacy of disclosure requirement.

The "date changes" at Michigan really don't mean anything. We had to do them in undergrad admissions whenever a Georgia applicant picked the country instead of the state, because we'd have to remove the TOEFL requirement and reassign the application from the international application readers.

Classy, does that mean they may look at your application, and that look doesn't necessarily trigger any date change?

@soapy: I don't know for sure about the law school. For undergrad, once the application is complete, it's assigned to a reader the following Monday. If we had to make any changes, it's because a reader saw something that needed to be changed and the application needed to be re-read after that change.

Ahh, got it. Thank you for the insight!

You're welcome. FWIW, I have no idea what's up with the address changes. We didn't have to do any of that, except for the Georgia state vs country kinds of things.

I've heard it theorized that some schools will change the address from "St." --> "Street" as they prepare to send out admissions packets. That's the rumor, anyways.
i think it just indicates a change in status like under review or stages of review
my stanford address went long as soon as it was marked complete lmao

I saw some Reddit adcom say that they can see any time we refresh the status checker; I wonder if it's a red flag if an applicant's checked it like 50 times in a day?
soapy

Also, can we send another LoR to a school that we've already applied to?
soapy

Or another essay?
