Squires claim

Read a random definition: Investment Company Act

A quick definition of Squires claim:

A Squires claim is a type of patent claim that describes the unique features of an invention and defines the protection it receives. It is a formal statement that explains how the invention works and what makes it different from other inventions. Squires claims are important because they determine the scope of the patent's protection. They are often used in utility patents and can incorporate drawings or tables to illustrate the invention.

A more thorough explanation:

A Squires claim is a type of patent claim that describes the novel features of an invention and defines the scope of the patent's protection. It is similar to a patent claim, which is a formal statement that explains the unique aspects of an invention and the extent of its legal protection.

For example, a Squires claim may incorporate a drawing or table by reference, which is allowed by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office only if there is no practical way to define the invention in words, but the invention is simple to illustrate with the drawing or table.

Another example of a Squires claim is a utility-patent claim that describes a mechanical device, explaining how the components are connected and function together. The preamble of an apparatus claim typically states the function of the machine, and the body explains its elements and how they work together.

Overall, a Squires claim is a specific type of patent claim that helps inventors protect their unique inventions and prevent others from copying them without permission.

I have not had a date change either for Mich but I've seen people get in without one so who knows

The "date changes" at Michigan really don't mean anything. We had to do them in undergrad admissions whenever a Georgia applicant picked the country instead of the state, because we'd have to remove the TOEFL requirement and reassign the application from the international application readers.

Classy, does that mean they may look at your application, and that look doesn't necessarily trigger any date change?

@soapy: I don't know for sure about the law school. For undergrad, once the application is complete, it's assigned to a reader the following Monday. If we had to make any changes, it's because a reader saw something that needed to be changed and the application needed to be re-read after that change.

Ahh, got it. Thank you for the insight!

You're welcome. FWIW, I have no idea what's up with the address changes. We didn't have to do any of that, except for the Georgia state vs country kinds of things.

I've heard it theorized that some schools will change the address from "St." --> "Street" as they prepare to send out admissions packets. That's the rumor, anyways.
i think it just indicates a change in status like under review or stages of review
my stanford address went long as soon as it was marked complete lmao
