Rule 109 statement

Read a random definition: intangible property

A quick definition of Rule 109 statement:

A Rule 109 statement is a document created by a patent examiner that explains why they allowed a patent claim. The examiner can create this statement if they feel that the record does not fully explain the reasons for allowing the claim. The statement should describe how the claim is different from previous inventions and why that difference is important. It is also called "reasons for allowance."

A more thorough explanation:

A Rule 109 statement is a statement made by a patent examiner that explains why a patent claim has been allowed. This statement is filed by the examiner if they believe that the record does not adequately reflect the reasons for allowing the claim.

The statement should include information on how the claim is different from prior art and why that difference is considered non-obvious. This helps to ensure that the patent is only granted for truly innovative and unique ideas.

For example, if someone applies for a patent on a new type of smartphone screen, the examiner may file a Rule 109 statement explaining why this screen is different from previous screens and why that difference is non-obvious. This helps to ensure that the patent is only granted for truly innovative and unique ideas.

Rule 11 | Rule 116 amendment

perhaps im biased bc i saw him live when he performed cmiygl for the first time
i think it is a controverisal take and i usually do too, i also think im giving an opinion too early cuz i habvent finished it at all
