ex parte reexamination

Read a random definition: state of war

A quick definition of ex parte reexamination:

Ex parte reexamination is a process where someone can ask the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to review a patent and see if it should be changed or cancelled. This can happen if someone finds evidence that shows the patent shouldn't have been given in the first place. The person who asks for the review can't be involved in the rest of the process, and there's no talking to witnesses or finding more evidence.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Ex parte reexamination is a legal process in which the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office reviews an already-issued patent to determine if it is valid based on prior art. This process can be initiated by anyone, including the patent holder or an anonymous informant, at any time during the life of the patent.

Example: An alleged infringer may seek ex parte reexamination of a patent to narrow its scope and avoid liability. During the process, the challenger can produce prior art and respond to the patentee's statements regarding the new prior art, but they are excluded from further participation in the examination process. This process does not employ discovery mechanisms, and witnesses are not examined.

Explanation: Ex parte reexamination is a way to challenge the validity of a patent without going to court. It allows anyone to bring forward evidence that the patent should not have been granted in the first place. The process is limited to the challenger producing prior art and responding to the patentee's statements, without any further participation. This process is different from inter partes reexamination, which allows both parties to participate in the examination process and request a hearing.

I have no idea why people have so much beef w berkeley's app
I've been reading a bit about "herding," which is this idea that pollsters are making the race look tied so they look right no matter who wins.

Like... it's a more involved app but you don't have to do it? They're clearly trying to have some self-selection go on
I 100% agree with the self selection, I also am not even close to touching the medians there. However I think the huge PS plus the video and especially the very specific criteria for the why Berkeley essay is pretty crazy
I'm curious, how bold can one be in those videos? Is it worth making a satirical Jason Statham-action short if the adcoms have no sense of humor?
the more risk you take the higher chance of it backfiring
my instinct would be low humor bc if they have such a complex application I would feel hesitant to use a major part of it as a joke. They clearly take their admissions seriously and a joke video might convey the wrong thing at the wrong time. I think that humor is best put into a PS anecdote where it adds some shine to your personality
safe is always better
All good points

@TheAdoptedOne: amazing
I almost did one for Vanderbilt and my idea was to do a documentary-style vid where I and others talked about me like it was an ESPN 30 for 30.

I was risky in maybe one or two of my essays in that some parts read as slightly humorous, but I really tried to suss out the vibe for each school. I feel like Berk and UMich may be more accommodating of a more "out there" approach than other schools I applied to

but that's literally just going off vibes
it looks like Berk vid is in response to a known prompt. My thinking is it may be a counter to AI by getting people to have to respond to what is essentially an essay prompt but on video
"I think really it’s more the USNWR change that emphasizes employment outcomes in school rankings. Schools want to admit people who have the skills to be more likely to land great jobs even more than before, and being a good interviewer is a very important for that. They want to see you have the soft skills." from a reddit comment

One funny thing when talking to lawyers at work is that they will always say how they wish more law schools had interviews to make sure you can like... talk to people and form sentences
