Week 4 EOC- Death race Jeopardy.

This was a really fun class today. I learned a lot of terms and definitions by playing Jeopardy. MAN it was competitive. Got to meet and play with some of the classmates. Awesomeness in my book and would like to learn like this every time I have a mid-term. Questions were fun and people almost got knocked over getting to the board. Here are three definitions I learned today.

Double Patenting- basically states the invention has two claims. It’s not allowed under Patent laws, and both patents can later be validated. If double patenting results from a divisional application required by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office because of the USPTO’s misperception that the two inventions were being described in the original patent application, under a special statute this rule does not apply and the patents will be considered valid.

Abandonment of Patent Application- the USPTO considers a patent application abandoned if the applicant fails to respond in a timely manner to actions or requests initiated by the USPTO. The USPTOS response to most applications is to send the applicant a notice –called an office action- rejecting one or more aspects of the patent application. The applicant must then amend the application, usually the claims, which are precise descriptions of the inventions or provide a suitable response to the USPTO within three months time.

Blocking Patent- When Patents have claims that overlap each other in a manner that the invention claimed in one patent cannot be used or sold without infringing the claims of the other patent and vice versa, each patent is referred to as a blocking patent.
There was much to learn the last four weeks in class and I think there will be much more the next few weeks to go. I look forward to it greatly!

Week 3 EOC- Jeopardy challenges and opportunities

Pretty awesome week being able to make a jeopardy game out of the patent, trademark and copyright definitions. The first thing I noticed is that I am WAY out of practice this week with my typing. I have read a lot of these terms and definitions along with some of the other side notes that have gone along with the book, and even though I did that its still hard to remember some things and easy for others.

Its also hard to decide what to put in this game because there is such a wide variety of information. The info pretty much just comes together where they are all differnent in their own way and some how connected. I realize that I have much to learn about the patents that are involved in my field. I am hoping at the end of this term I will have a strong understanding and respect for the laws that bring them together. We will see how I do with this game and hopefully I come out ahead in the end for my own standards and expectations. I have the opportunity to show myself how much I have learned.

I am the type of person that can learn with seeing things and doing them, as opposed to reading them. However, this should be very interesting.

EOC Wk 2: What I think Of Lawyers

I think in a normal environment in most cases lawyers can be understandable. In my experiences with them they are hard working and establish a very close client relationship. They have to get to know them in order to represent them. To understand their clients is important to gain their trust.

However, there are some out there that are in it only for the profit. In a sense they all are, but how they present themselves to you to get your trust in order to gain the case that they are fighting for is important. I think that alot of manipulation of the mind and of words come into play with them. They are overpaid for the most part but they speak for people that cannot speak for themselves. That is the lighter side of them. They are your voice on occasion.In the movie that we saw today in class, the lawyer was the quiet type and his assistant whom wasn't even a lawyer actually portrayed the lawyer's position well. The clients were undoubtedly wronged by the water from the electrical company and they were trying to hide it by offering to buy their property. The lawyers representing the company were without a doubt unaware of how dangerous the situation had become. That's where all of the doubts of them come into play from the investigating of the company to the medical bills that the clients had. If you're wrong you're wrong. Its their job to find out where!

EOC Week 1 : My Voice

I am the design. The design in the technological world. Advanced in Web Creation of the world and graduated from the Art Institute of Pittsburgh in 2008. I am now currently enrolled in the Art Institute of Las Vegas pursuing my BA in the design of the World Wide Web. I have dabbled in quite few design creations of my own and have always been in the pursuit of bigger and better things. I challenge myself each and everyday to improve on whats new. I have been a follower of the web since the day of bulletin board systems the first "IM and or chat rooms". It has always intrigued me to go beyond the boundaries to new foundations and create designs that are totally me, all you, and completely new. I have always been in the customer service industry. I just wanted to make a difference. Just serving customers and not doing what i love had a downward spiral for me after awhile.
I plan to use the newest software for designs that are up to date and easy to use. Flash, HTML, CSS, and Javascript are among the many different styles of design in which a company can choose from. Being in the web design business means being on your feet and having new creative and innovative ideas that stand above the rest. It means being competitive.
My idea would be that, "The World Wide Web is a canvas and the creative opportunity in which we play."
