infringement test

Read a random definition: payment in due course

A quick definition of infringement test:

Definition: An infringement test is a way to check if a patent claim is related to another claim. It asks if the dependent claim would always be violated if the independent claim it is based on is violated. If the independent claim is violated, then the dependent claim must also be violated because it includes all the elements of the independent claim.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: The infringement test is a method used in patents to determine if a dependent claim is valid. It involves asking whether the dependent claim would always be infringed if the independent claim on which it is based were infringed. Since a dependent claim must include all the elements of the independent claim, an infringement of the independent claim must also be an infringement of the dependent claim.

Example: Let's say a company has a patent for a new type of phone case. The independent claim might be for a case that is made of a specific material and has a certain shape. A dependent claim might be for a case that has the same material and shape, but also includes a built-in screen protector. To determine if the dependent claim is valid, the infringement test would be used. If someone were to infringe on the independent claim by making a phone case with the same material and shape, they would also be infringing on the dependent claim because it includes those same elements plus an additional feature.

Explanation: The example illustrates how the infringement test works by showing how a dependent claim is based on an independent claim and must include all of its elements. If someone were to infringe on the independent claim, they would also be infringing on the dependent claim because it includes those same elements plus an additional feature. This shows how the infringement test is used to determine if a dependent claim is valid and can be enforced under the patent.

Do the admissions offices close on Veterans Day?
I think someone here was really interested in Cornell Law. I forgot their username now but I just talked to the Cornell admissions rep at the Houston LSAC fair and apparently 2/3 of people who interview at Cornell ultimately get in.

I wonder what it’s dependent on? Are the 2/3 chosen on stats, or interview performance, or more holistically?
I'm honestly not sure

I think so
She said historically a quarter get interview invites and then two thirds of those people get in.
