A quick definition of useful:

Term: USEFUL

Definition: Something is useful if it has a practical purpose and can be used in real life. For example, an invention that can be used in industry to accomplish its purpose is considered useful. However, inventions that are just interesting but don't have a practical purpose are not considered useful in terms of patents.

A more thorough explanation:

Useful, adjective. In the context of patents, it refers to an invention that has a practical application.

For an invention to be considered useful, it must have a clear and practical purpose that can be applied in industry. Mere curiosities or speculative ideas are not considered useful in the context of patents.

A new type of machine that can efficiently sort and package products is considered useful because it has a practical application in the manufacturing industry.
A device that can detect the presence of harmful chemicals in the air is useful because it can be used to protect people from exposure to dangerous substances.

These examples illustrate the concept of usefulness in patents. Both inventions have a practical application that can be used in industry or to protect people from harm. They are not mere curiosities or speculative ideas, but rather have a clear and practical purpose.

It was years ago but it was a lower card fight, dude didn't speak good english and they tried asking him his plan, he was like "punch him" they tried to get more info pushing it again and he said "punch him hard" and pointed at his forehead.... I don't remember the results of the fight but dude had a solid plan.

@babycat: got to keep those legs flexible so you don't pull anything, I need to get back into yoga to release and stretch out tension in my muscles. Stretching is where I fail the most with fitness
