Yep. My understanding from ~sources~ is that the USPTO isn't going to bother giving examiners guidance this time because they're terrified that they'll get it wrong if they do. Unless your SPE says otherwise, I think the smart thing for an examiner to do for now is just to pretend that 101 doesn't exist.

In Texas being a District Judge means being able to go to social events and raise money. The work in Court gets in the way of this usually and is secondary.

CPS case today. Judge asks daughter if she ever spent the night elsewhere. She denies. Judge asks grandfather in the audience who lives with her. "She's gone all the time."

Judge points at her. "You lied to me. Bailiff, hold her in contempt."

Off to jail she goes.

I think the weirdest part is that she should've been a generic rich woman due to Nick Anderson but nope.

quote:

Defendant has filed yet another document entitled “Mandatory Judicial Notice.” (See Dkts. #99, 86, 66, 59, 58.) The “Mandatory Judicial Notice” notifies the Court that Defendant “relies in good faith on the public/commercial REGISTRY entries as published at https://www.peoplestrust1776.org inclusive of Universal Law Ordinance, UCC #2012096074 . . . .” For lack of a better term, this is gobbledygook. The Court is unsure of the document’s purpose, and given its undecipherable nature, no response is expected from the Government.

Defendant is apparently a member of a group loosely styled “sovereign citizens.” The Court has deduced this from a number of Defendant’s peculiar habits. First, like Mr. Leaming, sovereign citizens are fascinated by capitalization. They appear to believe that capitalizing names has some sort of legal effect. For example, Defendant writes that “the REGISTERED FACTS appearing in the above Paragraph evidence the uncontroverted and uncontrovertible FACTS that the SLAVERY SYSTEMS operated in the names UNITED STATES, United States, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, and United States of America . . . are terminated nunc pro tunc by public policy, U.C.C. 1-103 . . . .” (Def.’s Mandatory Jud. Not. at 2.) He appears to believe that by capitalizing “United States,” he is referring to a different entity than the federal government. For better or for worse, it’s the same country.

Second, sovereign citizens, like Mr. Leaming, love grandiose legalese. “COMES NOW, Kenneth Wayne, born free to the family Leaming, 20 December 1955, constituent to The People of the State of Washington constituted 1878 and admitted to the union 22 February 1889 by Act of Congress, a Man, “State of Body” competent to be a witness and having First Hand Knowledge of The FACTS . . . .” (Def.’s Mandatory Jud. Not. at 1.)

Third, Defendant evinces, like all sovereign citizens, a belief that the federal government is not real and that he does not have to follow the law. Thus, Defendant argues that as a result of the “REGISTERED FACTS,” the “states of body, persons, actors and other parties perpetuating the above captioned transaction(s) [i.e., the Court and prosecutors] are engaged . . . in acts of TREASON, and if unknowingly as victims of TREASON and FRAUD . . . .” (Def.’s Mandatory Jud. Not. at 2.)

The Court therefore feels some measure of responsibility to inform Defendant that all the fancy legal-sounding things he has read on the internet are make-believe. Defendant can call himself a “public minister” and “private attorney general,” he may file “mandatory judicial notices” citing all his favorite websites, he can even address mail to the “Washington Republic.” But at the end of the day, while sovereign citizens and Defendant cite things like “Universal Law Ordinances,” they are subject to both state and federal laws, just like everyone else.

For the reasons stated above, no response is required by the Government.

Yes it is. Easy boilerplate argument that PTAB institutes on, getting you a stay most of the time, then the patentee invariably settles for cheap or drops the case to get out of the CBM review.

I mean, as long as you think winning is fun.

the thing I'm more pissed about is that I'm getting in "trouble" (not really but still) about poo poo like "I made a 101 rejection that's neither supported nor contradicted by any guidance" and yeah have fun charging a clear error on that

Google named partner, he was publicly censured in 2011 for misconduct from 2005/2006 where he filed several things late/missed deadlines. According to the records he hasn't had any issues since 2007, but how much of a red flag is this?

Note to self: If you're running midlane Ryze, try taking exhaust.

In other news, even if your team feeds a bit early game if you're careful and can manage the right rotations (and get lucky with your team beginning to get competent) you can still win! http://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=Arcturas86 if anyone wants to watch and give me pointers. (the Ryze game) We were 5/10 at some point early game, and I went 0/3/1 and fed to a 3/0/0 Zed early on too. But I turned it around pretty nicely.

I was forced to play mid even though I haven't played mid in about 8 months because a duo team didn't tell us they were duoing until people had locked top and jungle, but I think it worked out okay.

I feel like I should have done a better job poking Zed with my Q early on to keep him low, so he couldn't all-in me very easily. Also after he turned 6 he tried to all-in me and I stuck around afterwards so he could kill me in a bit rather than backing to heal up. Whoops.

This was also the first time I tried smartcasting and it is SO MUCH BETTER on Ryze. I'm not sure I'll keep it on Janna or some of my other champs, but man oh man did it make hitting all my buttons easier. I could just chase someone while spamming w and that's how we got a few picks (Janna movespeed and occasional R movespeed helped too, of course).

I wasn't really sure what I was doing item-wise after I got my RoA and Archangels (and completely forgot to use my AA Staff ability). I got the Frozen Heart because I saw someone do that in the Worlds matches and figured the armor would be good against Draven + Zed (plus a little Jayce? I never know what damage he does). After that I picked up the Void Staff because I could and it was on the recommended list but I didn't really have a good idea what to get in that slot.

My proudest moment was after a reasonable fight midlane I swung bottom to push the lane a bit. I saw Diana coming bot to gank me/chase me off thanks to a ward I left by their red a few minutes ago (YES WARDING! SO GOOD). I ran a little back but hid around the corner of the terrain as you come up out of the river into bot lane, then just ambushed Diana and nuked her with basically one and a half rotations. (QRWEQ, maybe something else in there) It felt so good to finally stop running and just nuke someone solo.
