duplicate-claiming rejection

Read a random definition: prisoner

A quick definition of duplicate-claiming rejection:

A duplicate-claiming rejection is when someone tries to claim something that has already been claimed by someone else. It's like trying to say you own a toy that your friend already said was theirs. It's not allowed and you can't have it. This can happen with patents, which are like special rights to make or sell something, and if someone tries to claim the same thing as someone else, they will be rejected.

A more thorough explanation:

Duplicate-claiming rejection is a type of rejection in patent law where a patent claim is rejected because it is not substantially different from another claim. This means that the same invention is being claimed twice, which is not allowed.

For example, if someone tries to patent a new type of phone case and makes two claims: one for a blue phone case and another for a red phone case, both claims may be rejected if they are not substantially different from each other.

This type of rejection is meant to prevent people from monopolizing an invention by making multiple claims for the same thing.

It's more just not a good # for people who aren't willing to clerk conservative. I'm sure they place liberal clerks at an above average rate for a t-6 though. Maybe higher (not entirely sure)
