==============================================

I'm pulling out all the stops for Zilvia on this one. I received quite a few PMs about this topic so I decided to make a thread for all to benefit. As part of my pro bono, public outreach program

, I will take any questions about intellectual property that you may have but never had the opportunity the ask.

Keep the disclaimer in mind. Also keep in mind that a preliminary consultation with a qualified attorney will cost you a lot of money as well.

Please understand that while I can tell you what a law says, it is the courts that will actually determine what the law means. Some laws may not make sense, but they're meant to be taken in context.

Take this opportunity to ask me anything. If I don't know, I'll direct you to resources where you can find the answer.

Just please don't ask if any particular invention is patentable. The answer is I don't know. No one knows other than the Examiner issuing the patent. Any and all other questions are always welcome.

As for my background, I work for one of the largest law firm in the country. Out of respect for my clients, I would prefer to stay anonymous for now. Otherwise, I work in one of the most highly litigated areas of patent law. I encourage others with expertise to participate. I know you're out there

Questions and positive comments are always welcome. Posters of negative comments will receive negative reputations and be reported to the moderators. If you have nothing constructive to add, please go post in another thread that's more to your liking. This is an educational thread to benefit the community.

To start off, a great resource is the US Patent & Trademark Office Web site: http://www.uspto.gov

Now, does anybody have any questions? I know the people who PM'ed me do
