Simple English definitions for legal terms

best embodiment

Read a random definition: ob contingentiam

A quick definition of best embodiment:

Best embodiment: The best way that the inventor knows to make and use their invention. When applying for a patent, the inventor must disclose the best embodiment they know at the time of filing. If they fail to do so, the patent may be invalid.

A more thorough explanation:

Best embodiment refers to the best way an inventor knows to work the invention described and claimed in a patent or patent application. It is also known as the best mode.

For a patent application to be valid, it must disclose the best mode known to the inventor at the time of filing. Failure to disclose the best mode can render a patent invalid.

For example, if an inventor creates a new type of car engine, they must disclose the best way to make and use the engine in their patent application. If they fail to do so, their patent may be invalidated.

The best embodiment requirement ensures that the public has access to the best version of the invention and that the inventor is not withholding important information.

NYU’s seat deposit is May 1st and they have stated that the vast majority of their decisions will be made by the end of May

I would expect any sort of decision by the end of April
babycakes

Which is coming up! But if you get waitlisted they will absolutely reevaluate after seat deposits
got it - i guess rejection/waitlist might be most likely this late?

@AbjectHellishRhino: According to last year's LSD data, they were still giving initial decisions (meaning not waitlist --> A or R) all the way through May, but it looks like they were done with initial As at the beginning of May.

@AbjectHellishRhino: Also, this is over three weeks old (but the most recent) and NYU had roughly more than 350 As to still hand out. Lots of hope left! https://www.spiveyconsulting.com/blog-post/2024-2025-admissions-cycle-progress
