Have I got a story for you about the Lottery. I can't tell you
anything YET? But I have a really good one to tell. If I don't receive
any word, this time from the US Patent office which should only take
about 30 day's then I'll tell everyone including the Medea. check out
my web site in about that time.

It takes a *minimum* of a year from app to get a patent awarded; problems in the claims will slow things down untill fixed.


I've never seen the first office action until two years after the filing date. I've *heard* it can be done faster, but have never seen it actually done. The one that the lawyers attempted to push onto the fast track took even longer.


30 days?
No way.


Perhaps he's talking about Paris' jail term?

Maybe; perhaps they should send her to France on a one-way ticket.

It is possible to get a patent awarded in about a year (i did); i think the secret is to have claims that are unique enough that they cannot be challenged by any examiner, have clear and precise terminology, do not "muddle" each other, and otherwise fulfill the "law" (guides) as they must follow.
I had only two claims that were partly "rejected" and my lawyer sucessfully argued that the wording was correct and accurate in the original claims.
They did not like the abstract at all, so my patent lawyer re-wrote it from scratch, making it so clear and concise as to shock the hell out of any layman ("a *lawyer* wrote that???").

Now, there are a number of companies that purposely write crappy and muddled claims and have 2-5 times what is reqiured to do the job.
Once filed, one *cannot* add a claim - but one can modify or drop one.
As long as the patent is in litigation, the holder is covered ("Patent *applied* for") so with a goodly amount of money, it can be kept in limbo for (maybe?( 5 years.
Also, one has that extra time to do improvements for yet another patent app, or do "extensions" )or whatever they are called).
