Patent lawyers often say there is incredible amount of back and forth strategy in the patent application process. The ones they ultimately need goes forth and granted.
Abandoned patents are surprisingly common, comprising a majority of United States patents, and a largely overlooked feature of the United States patent system When inventors, patent lawyers, and IP teams talk about patent abandonment, there are multiple practices they could be referring to. A patent or patent application can be abandoned at multiple points during its lifetime.. Patent applications are published 18 months after their earliest priority date, unless the applicant requests otherwise. This is true whether the application is granted or abandoned. In fact, according to recent research, “the USPTO cites abandoned patent applications more often than issued patents.” This detail is important, because an inventor may, without meaning to, create an invention disclosure with no legal protection. On the other hand, a competitor can now utilize the technology within the published application without infringing on a patent.
Why are you commenting with excuses?
Shouldn't PYR IR be updating shareholders and the market?
I am familiar with the patent application/patent process having gone through it with Bereskin & Parr.
Good luck to all!
