functional rejection

Read a random definition: membrum

A quick definition of functional rejection:

Functional rejection is when someone refuses to accept something because it doesn't work properly or doesn't do what it's supposed to do. This can happen with contracts, goods that are delivered, or even patent applications. For example, if someone tries to patent an invention but doesn't explain how it works well enough, the patent office might reject their application for functional reasons.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Functional rejection is a type of rejection that occurs when a patent claim broadly claims a function but does not disclose enough structure to account for achieving that function.

Example: If someone tries to patent a new type of car engine that claims to be more fuel-efficient but does not provide enough details on how the engine achieves this function, the patent examiner may issue a functional rejection.

This means that the patent application will be rejected because it does not provide enough information on how the engine works to achieve the claimed function of being more fuel-efficient.

Overall, functional rejection is a common type of rejection that occurs in the patent application process when the patent claim is too broad and lacks sufficient details on how the invention works to achieve the claimed function.

It was years ago but it was a lower card fight, dude didn't speak good english and they tried asking him his plan, he was like "punch him" they tried to get more info pushing it again and he said "punch him hard" and pointed at his forehead.... I don't remember the results of the fight but dude had a solid plan.

@babycat: got to keep those legs flexible so you don't pull anything, I need to get back into yoga to release and stretch out tension in my muscles. Stretching is where I fail the most with fitness
