A quick definition of GM:

GM stands for Gebrauchsmuster, which is a type of patent registration system that gives patent-like rights in some countries. It is similar to a patent, but usually has a shorter term and requires little or no search. Utility-model patents are not available in the U.S. or Great Britain, but are offered in Japan and many European countries, including Germany and France. They are only available for machines and not for chemicals. Other names for GM include petty patent, second-tier patent, small invention, or Gebrauchsmuster in German.

A more thorough explanation:

GM

GM stands for Gebrauchsmuster, which is a type of patent registration system that provides patent-like rights in some countries. It is also known as a utility model. Unlike regular patents, utility models have a shorter term and require little or no search. They are only available for machines and not for chemicals.

Utility-model patents are available in many European countries, including Germany and France, as well as in Japan. For example, if a German inventor creates a new machine, they can apply for a Gebrauchsmuster to protect their invention. This will give them exclusive rights to use and sell the machine for a certain period of time, usually up to 10 years.

The definition explains that GM or Gebrauchsmuster is a type of patent registration system that provides patent-like rights for machines in some countries. The examples illustrate how this system works in Germany, where inventors can apply for a Gebrauchsmuster to protect their new machines. This gives them exclusive rights to use and sell the machine for up to 10 years. This helps to encourage innovation and protect inventors' rights.

Help us make LSD better!
Tell us what's important to you
their loss lol. any tips for LSAT LR? I used 7sage and kinda hated it. I have Loophole that I plan on using whenever I retake lsat probably in summer
@soap: you are more cooked than if you were not already waitlisted, but you are not completely cooked and raising your lsat is the strongest thing you can do for a WL

Volatile, I always do the hardest ones first, so that you get the most challenging questions out of the way and make it get easier as you proceed. Also, read the answer choices before reading the question.

Man if I get above 175 and end up not getting into any t14s I'll laugh
@VolatileClumsyAcolyte: biggest tip that will get you a few points is that the LSAT doesn’t actually use “most correct” like it claims. there’s actually only ever one right answer and every other answer will be excluded by one rule of logic or another. so only one answer will ever be completely correct
is there like a cheat sheet or a study guide type of thing for specific forms of questions? I remember I struggled the most with NA/SA/PSA
@soap: if you get above a 175 you should just reapply because you’d probably be competitive for penn nyu and cls at that point with scholly money
I scored 156 on my first LSAT in August, I cancelled that and retook it immediately in September and got 163. Do yall think I can cross into 170's if I start studying from like january to summer
because i've heard that any score increase after 165 is just as hard as from 145 to 160

I've been told by my parents that I cannot reapply because I have the full ride to UMN and so I better take whatever I can get lol

I’m going to have to disagree with soap on the point of doing the hardest questions first. I think it’s just a general waste of time to over complicate your strategy. You’re going to have do all the questions anyone. Ignore the clock and focus on one question at a time.
@VolatileClumsyAcolyte: it gets harder to increase your score as you go up, but if you work hard and consistently work on your mistakes it’s entirely possible you break 170
got it thank u guys
@soap: lol oh well just get top 10% a umn and then transfer to harvard because you come from a grade deflated undergrad and law school will be easy for you
soap
14:02
I think the order in which you do questions is a matter of personal preference. In PTs I've always scored better doing the hardest ones first, but that's just because it reduces the stress personally lol
soap
14:02
I guess since I'm paying for all this anyhow I could just wait and reapply lmao
texaslawhopefully
14:03
Yeah soap if you get a 175+, I would 100 percent reapply
hahahahah sure if you’re set on t14 it’s entirely attainable for you

If your parents aren’t helping at all, they don’t have much of a say

^valid pt
my mom is so involved in my application proccess she wanted to cater my personal statement to what she believed would make most impact on adcom.
she is helping pay for it but even if so, they shouldnt be too involved
shes a war veteran so she wanted me to spend significant portion of my ps talking about how much her journey affected and inspired me so i ignored her to the fullest by simply saying "ps is about me not you"
speaking of test prep, any 7sage alternatives that include explanations without "youre dumb if u dont get this"

twitter is making me so mad i may have to get rid of it

I’m going to get dogged on for saying this, but LSAT Demon has fairly good explanations
14:25
i had demon for a month and they have flushed out written explanations that helpo
14:26
7sage explanations are so sucky i gotta watch a vid of a dude eliminiating an answer choice with 2 seconds of explainaing why
dude, i feel like 7sage guy speedruns thru the whole test.
14:30
the vids are 80% him reading the stimulus out loud then he devotes 4 seconds to each answer choice i swear
