I’m proud of this one.

This one was easier than the first one. One of the reasons is that the opposing attorneys were completely inexperienced on what to argue.

When the government shutdown at the end of December and through most of January took effect, the U.S. Patent Office (USPTO) said that they had a few weeks of reserves left from user fees.
