Patent Milestone (It will Grant) - Office Action Approves Claims

Anyone that is deep in technology will know the challenges of the patent process. Getting it accepted is a combination of innovation, immense documentation, art, cunning, diligence, . . . and a lot of money and patience.

We wrote 22 claims, which was really 11 claims with two different wordings. To any normal person, including myself, they looked exactly the same. Today, the Patent Examiner accepted Claim 1-11, but rejected 12-22. It is deep argument about the meaning of the word 'method' and 'means' and 'system' in legalese.

Boy, am I glad we did the multiple versions . . . and thanks to counsel.

Anyway, we will accept their Claim 12-22 rejection, and get the patent issued before year-end for Claim 1-11.

Of course, it will change my industry. Just wait and see. Dozens more to come . . . and a major product launch for next year.
