colorable alteration

Read a random definition: wrongful-termination action

A quick definition of colorable alteration:

Colorable alteration: A small change made to a product or process to make it different from an existing patent or copyright, without actually making any real or significant changes. This is done to avoid being accused of copying someone else's work.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A colorable alteration is a modification made to an invention or work that does not result in any significant change but is only made to differentiate it from an existing patent or copyright. It is a small change made to a product or process to avoid infringing on an earlier patent's claim.

Example: Let's say a company has a patent for a red bicycle with a bell. Another company wants to create a similar bicycle but with a blue color and a horn instead of a bell. This modification is a colorable alteration because it does not result in any significant change to the bicycle's function or design, but it is made to avoid infringing on the existing patent.

Another example: A company has a patent for a smartphone with a rectangular shape and a touch screen. Another company wants to create a similar smartphone but with a circular shape and a physical keyboard instead of a touch screen. This modification is not a colorable alteration because it results in a significant change to the smartphone's design and function.

The examples illustrate the definition of colorable alteration by showing how a modification can be made to avoid infringing on an existing patent or copyright without making any significant changes to the product or process.

same outcomes, temple has better trial advocacy. nova has the most partners in BL firms in philly than any other school. But both send 20% to BL if thats ur thing. Temple is located in arguably the roughest part of philly. the campus itself is a campus, but not more than a few blocks away are some neighborhoods u dont wanna walk around in.
21:21
nova more expensive

very very similar tho
