USPTO Patent and Trademark Office Action Rejections and Objections!

J.D. and Matt talk patent and trademark office actions! J.D. talked through a flowchart showing the various steps that a typical utility patent application takes and how 2-3 office actions is fairly typical. Matt talked about the trademark office action process a bit and explained some key differences there. 

The team took a Bold Bite out of a Shark Tank episode from GeoOrbital an electric bike add-on for the front wheel. J.D. was a harsh critic and busted their statement that they have a "patented product", where J.D. showed off that they actually have an Abandoned patent that never responded to a USPTO office action back in 2017. J.D. showed just what the rejection said and the reasons for it on the novelty and obviousness front and some of the grounds for rejections. 

Matt showed the registration for GeoOrbital and the 2+ year path it took for them to get their trademark granted.
