A quick definition of PTA:

Term: PTA

Definition: PTA stands for Patent-Term Adjustment. It's a way to adjust the length of time a patent is valid based on how long it took for the patent office to review and approve the patent application. This helps make sure that inventors get the full amount of time they deserve to protect their invention.

A more thorough explanation:

PTA

PTA is an abbreviation for Patent-Term Adjustment. It is a process used by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) to adjust the term of a patent based on certain delays that occur during the patent application process.

For example, if the USPTO takes longer than three years to issue a patent, the patent term may be adjusted to compensate for the delay. This ensures that the patent owner has the full term of their patent to protect their invention.

Another example is if the USPTO requires the applicant to make changes to their patent application, which can cause delays in the issuance of the patent. In this case, the patent term may be adjusted to account for the time it took to make the changes.

PTA is an important process for patent owners because it ensures that they have the full term of their patent to protect their invention. Without PTA, delays in the patent application process could result in a shorter patent term, which could limit the patent owner's ability to protect their invention from competitors.

I told my family I won’t get any decisions until 2025 so they wouldn’t bombard me hahah
no i think there should be a Law School combine with all new drills except there is still the 40 yard dash
and a sub 4.5 gets you into any t14
LSAT can be one of the drills

So all the D1 athletes will get into a T-14. What else is new?
@TheAdoptedOne: that is called "Dean Poker Night" lol
@ClockworkBlue: I feel like most people could train for the 40 for the same amount of time as they do the LSAT and get close to sub 5 which would be equivalent to a 167+
this is like the schizophrenic posts JJK tik tok be putting out

if the country was run the same as Mich Law it would be a better place
Imagine if election night was run by an adcom? Like, "yep, we could get the results Friday, or June 2025."
imagine if it was like Berkley applications

I have no idea why people have so much beef w berkeley's app
I've been reading a bit about "herding," which is this idea that pollsters are making the race look tied so they look right no matter who wins.

Like... it's a more involved app but you don't have to do it? They're clearly trying to have some self-selection go on
I 100% agree with the self selection, I also am not even close to touching the medians there. However I think the huge PS plus the video and especially the very specific criteria for the why Berkeley essay is pretty crazy
