I'll possibly be bringing a friend as well. Will update later in the week.
Going to have to bow out for this Saturday--whatever black death plague thing I seem to have contracted should probably just be contained to my house and not passed on to the rest of you guys. Have fun, though!
Feel better - I just went through that mess a week and a half ago.
Strange games - the first two I tried some different things and fell flat on my face, coming in distant last like 20-30 points behind the winner both times... only to chalk up 71 science points in the last game with the aid of leaders that gave me a protractor and gear symbols.
Gah, it's looking like I won't be able to make it this weekend
sounds like this might not be happening unless someone else pipes up...
If anyone wants to pull patents for me, for free, I might have some time this weekend. Otherwise, I have a lot to do. Changing my wife's name on Saturday.
Pull them?
Locate them based on registration number, and then download them. That will be my Sunday afternoon in a nutshell. But wait, it gets better. I may get a chance to break that up by getting legislative history on the US Copyright Act. Anyone want to help me get session notes to properly transcribe from a PDF into workable and editable text for those pre 1990?
Don't get me started on the debaucherous hoot my last Saturday was curled up with my Veteran's Benefit Manual. Juan Borgia could only dream of the depravity.
I am looking up 20 odd granted patents, not applications. So it would be with USPTO numbers. The search is essentially the same as Public PAIR, just a different link. Mostly this is to do the client's diligence on "prior art."
I like copyright a lot more. Patents can be frustrating.
You know what I do, right? :)
Don't you just screw around on the Internet all day?
You know what I do, right? :)
I do. Is there some way I can blame you for the ancient script that is the USPTO website and registration system? I expect that the site will have alternating blinking text, and will change my cursor to an American Flag.
It almost makes me grateful that Patent and Mark firms won't touch me without an engineering degree. Doing this on contract is headache enough.
I'm in a holding pattern for a date of a big LAN event in February so can't commit yet but i should hopefully know soon.
I cannot do the second. I have a baby shower to attend.
We're doing board games in akron on the second if anyone wants to take the trip out.
road trip?!
Does the 2nd sound feasible for everyone?
The 2nd works for me, and the wife is even willing to show up for a little bit!
I caught up with some high school chums who might come out to the next one. If we are set on the 16th, I will ask them along.
i won't be able to make it the 16th - big lan that weekend. i'll likely make the next one.
