examiner-in-chief

Read a random definition: patent-term extension

A quick definition of examiner-in-chief:

Examiner-in-Chief: A person who used to be part of a group that decided if someone could get a patent for their invention or not. They listened to people who disagreed about who should get the patent and made a decision. Now, a different group does this job.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: An examiner-in-chief is a member of a quasi-judicial body in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office that used to hear appeals of interference decisions and patent-application rejections. The body comprising those members is also referred to as examiner-in-chief. It is the predecessor of the Board of Appeals, the Board of Patent Interferences, and the present-day Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences.

Example: John is an examiner-in-chief who works at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. He is responsible for reviewing patent applications and making decisions on whether to grant or reject them. If an applicant disagrees with John's decision, they can appeal to the examiner-in-chief board.

Explanation: The example illustrates how an examiner-in-chief is a member of a quasi-judicial body that reviews patent applications and makes decisions on whether to grant or reject them. If an applicant disagrees with the decision made by an examiner-in-chief, they can appeal to the examiner-in-chief board, which is made up of several members, including the examiner-in-chief. The board will then review the case and make a final decision.

Feeling like sad drinking tonight, wife accidentally tossed out my truck keys and those are expensive as fuck to replace. The crappiest part is that the key chain had the "remove before flight" tab from my first aircraft's rocket pods overseas from 6 years ago. Then find out people fucked around and back dated reports at work making me look like a shit bag so I am working later tonight and missing range time which is my weekly relax/me time. Add in my sleep meds stopped working, so I am thinking vodka (so I stay skinny and hot) and pizza by the fireplace kind of friday.
