apparatus claim

Read a random definition: interlocutory order

A quick definition of apparatus claim:

An apparatus claim is a formal statement that describes the unique features of an invention and defines the scope of protection for the patent. It explains how the components of a mechanical device are connected and function together. The claim typically starts with a statement of the machine's function and then describes its elements and how they work together. A patent claim can be broad or limited in scope, and the inventor must ensure that the claim is well-protected to prevent infringers from taking advantage of loopholes. Other types of patent claims include method claims, product claims, and improvement claims.

A more thorough explanation:

An apparatus claim is a type of patent claim that describes a mechanical device and how its components are connected and function together. It is a formal statement that defines the scope of the patent's protection and describes the novel features of an invention.

For example, a patent claim for a new type of car engine might describe the specific components of the engine and how they work together to produce a more efficient and powerful engine. This claim would be an apparatus claim because it describes a mechanical device.

Other types of patent claims include method claims, which describe a process for achieving a useful result, and product claims, which cover the structure, apparatus, or composition of a product.

That makes sense. It's a plus for the state as well, since it's not like they're going to let him make bail. Any time up to the trial he'll just spend in jail

they got unbiased panels for Nikolas Cruz and Daniel Penny, it'll be fine
snow
12:19
yeah, but I think those were capital cases
snow
12:19
jury selection is different for capital cases
windyMagician
12:19
Daniel penny was not a capital case

@windyMagician: I would say depends the prison, I have met a lot of golden spoon children who could not handle the strictness of the military and lack of freedom. So many attempted suicides. I am sure prison is much worse

I do not believe they found a truly un-biased case for Daniel Penny. Finding someone in new york who hasn't been in a subway cart while criming is happening? Idk the statistic of those who witness or are victims of crimes on subway carts but I am sure it is very high
windyMagician

that's a good thing. juries should be biased in favor of the defense.
Honestly, that would be an incredible arc. Goes to NYS prison, gets taken under the wing of some geriatric wiseguys, then gets out and re-starts the Mob
snow
12:21
in theory yes, the defense did really good with that jury
windyMagician
12:22
we have a presumption of innocence in this country, time to start acting like it

@windyMagician: I can agree with that, makes it more of a jury of peers if they have been in the same shit show
snow
12:22
YES, im so tired of sitting through jury selection and people not understanding that a jury trial isnt an argument between two sides. its one side trying to prove without a reasonable doubt that someone did what they are accused of

unrelated but my gym crush date was fucking weird. had a great convo, didn't hug me at the end tho, then says he'll text me and doesn't? girl I'm too old for ghosting
If he wanted to he would girl
Don't give him the benefit of the doubt
windyMagician
12:24
why we're still acting like this at nearly 30 years old I do not know
Although I can respect the not hugging part after a gym date. When I'm finished with lifting, I have an incredibly potent odor that could overpower a delicate female
So I try to keep my distance
windyMagician
12:26
oh it wasn't a gym date it was dinner lmfao
windyMagician
12:26
but he was my crush from the gym
Understood. His behavior is unforgiveable and you should egg his car.

@windyMagician: did you approach your gym crush you they approach you?
windyMagician

matched on hinge
who messaged first
windyMagician

girl... you did this to yourself
windyMagician

I need to add some important context here: he used to date my ex's coworker
