A quick definition of award in interference:

An award in interference is a decision made by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office that determines who was the first person to invent something. This decision is made after a contest between two or more parties who claim to have invented the same thing. The winner of the contest is given a priority award, which means they are recognized as the original inventor.

A more thorough explanation:

An award in interference is a final decision made by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office that determines which party in an interference contest is the first inventor. This decision is also known as a priority award.

For example, if two inventors file for a patent on the same invention, an interference contest may arise. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office will then determine which inventor was the first to invent the invention and award them the patent.

This award is important because it determines who has the legal right to the patent and can prevent others from using or selling the invention without permission.

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

Unrepentant-Caucasian

12:24

If he wanted to he would girl

Unrepentant-Caucasian

12:24

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

Unrepentant-Caucasian

12:25

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

Unrepentant-Caucasian

12:26

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

Unrepentant-Caucasian

12:27

Understood. His behavior is unforgiveable and you should egg his car.

windyMagician

Unrepentant-Caucasian

12:27

windyMagician

12:27

Unrepentant-Caucasian

12:27

girl... you did this to yourself

windyMagician

12:27

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

windyMagician

12:29

it's 2024 women can message first

BulbasaurNoLikeCardio

Oh that is pretty cool way for a gym relationship to start lol and not hugging is weird, I always hug the homies even when it is that bro hand shake/high 5 hug.

Unrepentant-Caucasian

Even Bumble doesn't make the girlies message first anymore. The people have spoken and they said "Guys have to make the first move now"

windyMagician

12:30

maybe I'm just too hot and I'm intimidating the hoes

BulbasaurNoLikeCardio

12:30

I follow/ed the rule that who ever is on when the match is made is who has to send the first message

BulbasaurNoLikeCardio

Sometimes people just don't click in that way or dude is/was awkward and nervous because you are too hot for dem hoes.
