PCT

Read a random definition: secondary use

A quick definition of PCT:

Term: PCT

Definition: PCT stands for Patent Cooperation Treaty. It is an international agreement that helps inventors protect their inventions in multiple countries. This means that if someone invents something in one country, they can apply for a patent in many other countries at the same time. It makes it easier and more efficient for inventors to get their inventions protected around the world.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: PCT is an abbreviation for Patent Cooperation Treaty. It is an international agreement that allows inventors to apply for a patent in multiple countries at the same time.

Example: John is an inventor who wants to protect his invention in multiple countries. Instead of filing separate patent applications in each country, he can file a single PCT application. This will give him the option to enter the national phase in any of the countries that are members of the PCT.

Explanation: The example illustrates how PCT simplifies the process of obtaining a patent in multiple countries. By filing a single PCT application, inventors can save time and money. They can also delay the decision on which countries to enter the national phase until they have a better understanding of the commercial potential of their invention.

The whole having a group of hot chick friends you can flirt with while going out is great. Makes for a fun and safer environment when drinking.

I love my hot chick friends. Don't know where I would be without them

Crazy story, I had dinner with the dad of a friend of mine and he just openly went on Tinder in front of me and the other guys. Later my mom ran into him with another woman (not his wife/friend's mom) and he got very uncomfortable and never texted her again
15:15
I can't imagine what it's like being a cheater or like a serial dater. Shit seems so nervewracking

My wife and I have great and open communication but one night she kept asking me why this girl is blowing up my phone with messages/pictures so I showed her... she got a new puppy and got drunk so had her puppy doing a fashion shoot at 11pm.

I keep my dating very clean and above board. No overlaps, no ambiguities. If you want to go into some sort of public office in the future it's good to be smart about things like that
babycat
15:18
So many politicians have sex scandals and that's how they get blackmailed and other people have power over them. I mean of course there are ethical and emotional issues too but it's literally just smart to not be a cheater
BulbasaurNoLikeCardio
15:19
I would never go into public office as it drags in your family as well. Dating is so much easier then some people make it out to be and it is not that hard to not cheat. I would always tell my soldiers to rub one out before making a big decision so they arent acting dumb

15:20
Like if more cheaters just paused and rubbed one out they would be like you know maybe ill just watch some TV
babycat
15:20
I've seen some people do a really good job keeping their family out of it. But it really is an "anything they can use against you, they will" type of vibe
babycat
15:21
Ugh I need to go work on essays bye folks
BulbasaurNoLikeCardio
15:22
I don't do anything I can be blackmailed with, I like money too much to be sketch. Have fun doing your essays and a good weekend
15:23
don't have the motivation to work on essays
BulbasaurNoLikeCardio
15:25
I got to work on essays for finals but I'm like that is a next week me problem. I am glad to be done with LS ones. I felt weird talking about myself

Bulbasaur if you weren't constrained by location I would say you should apply to Northwestern. They love applicants like you
BulbasaurNoLikeCardio
15:30
@babycat: what makes you say that?
15:31

BulbasaurNoLikeCardio
15:32
I have not talked to northwestern or uchicago but the schools I did talked to said graduates are nice but they cant be hard stats to compare to others as not everyone has one
babycat
15:34
@BulbasaurNoLikeCardio: they really like non traditional applicants and older students
babycat
15:35
there are plenty of non trads who get admitted to nw with below median stats bc of their stories
