Section 102 rejection

Read a random definition: allograph

A quick definition of Section 102 rejection:

A Section 102 rejection is when someone's application for a patent is denied because their idea is not new or original. This means that someone else has already come up with the same idea and has a patent for it. It's like trying to claim a toy as your own, but someone else already has the same toy and has proof that it belongs to them. The person who applied for the patent can try to change their idea or argue that it is different enough to still be patentable.

A more thorough explanation:

A Section 102 rejection is when a patent examiner finds that a claim in a patent application is not new or novel. This means that the invention has already been disclosed or made public in some way, so it cannot be patented.

For example, if someone tries to patent a new type of phone case, but someone else has already patented a similar phone case, the patent examiner may issue a Section 102 rejection.

Another example is if someone tries to patent an invention that they have already made public, such as by publishing a description of it online or presenting it at a conference. In this case, the patent examiner may also issue a Section 102 rejection.

Overall, a Section 102 rejection is a way for the patent office to ensure that only truly new and innovative inventions are granted patents.

Help us make LSD better!
Tell us what's important to you
probably my WE and softs. Do reapplicants have lower chances at admissions? I've read few negative things but I dont wanna like poison my brain with those lol.
Also, do i have to write new personal statements if i reapply?
hi jack :)
calling dean cooper as we speak to get you an A
you do have to write new personal statements but applicants aren’t disfavored
especially if you’re reapplying with a higher lsat
@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: i just looked at your stats and do not take this the wrong way in any way but how the hell did nyu or cls not take you. this is insane
178 lsat is a crazy work dude
i had a silly guy era and had two years of withdrawn classes. like 15 total, so a lot of schools were not willing to take a chance on me

If you're already on the WL when you get a higher LSAT, are you already cooked?
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

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

I guess since I'm paying for all this anyhow I could just wait and reapply lmao

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
