Read a random definition: Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court of Review

A quick definition of abandoned, suppressed, or concealed:

Abandoned, Suppressed, or Concealed: This means that someone had an idea for an invention, but they didn't tell anyone about it or try to make it. It could have been on purpose or by accident. If someone else comes up with the same idea later and tries to patent it, the first person's idea might not count as "prior art" if they abandoned it or kept it secret. However, if they kept it secret after the idea became known to the public, it still counts as prior art.

A more thorough explanation:

ABANDONED, SUPPRESSED, OR CONCEALED

Abandoned, suppressed, or concealed refers to patents that have intentionally or accidentally been hidden from public notice, not reduced to practice, or not patented. If an inventor abandons the field to others or is held to have lost the right to patent by suppressing or concealing the invention, another person's earlier invention will not be considered prior art. However, if the suppression or concealment occurred after the art became known to the public, then it still qualifies as prior art.

Example 1: An inventor creates a new type of engine but decides not to patent it and instead keeps it a secret. This invention is considered abandoned, suppressed, or concealed.

Example 2: A company develops a new type of software but decides not to release it to the public and instead keeps it hidden. This invention is considered abandoned, suppressed, or concealed.

These examples illustrate how an invention can be considered abandoned, suppressed, or concealed if it is intentionally or accidentally hidden from public notice. In both examples, the inventions were not patented and were kept secret, making them ineligible for patent protection.

Help us make LSD better!
Tell us what's important to you
Usually happens when you apply too much opinion to the passage lol that is also why i said 0 to -2 is RC mastery as opposed to -0 as sometimes you may think that author's pov in the opera comparative passages is "facetious" and they were looking for "apathetic"

That's likely true.
Remember, all people who go to law school having to do LSAT prep is also about social engineering lol Like you should have some shared basis in how you think/talkk, hence "lawyer talk," but how do they choose which ones to release for everyone to do, from a content perspective? Is it a coincidence we get many climate change content questions? LOL So what i am getting at is that is sometimes VERY subjective lol So dont beat yourself up TOO bad on arts in RC, but obvs work on it.
How many t-14s are appropriate to apply to if i have a 170 lsat
this is for next cycle
everyone saying medians are gonna be crazy so idk what i should be aiming for. 3.9+ gpa if it matters
r/lsa makes me feel like im stupid for having a 170 lol
@RasheedWallaceFan: your gpa is above all medians, so apply broadly
Okay thank you for the input, the other thing im struggling with is just making a school list in general. I am insecure so im like do i have to apply to 5 low ranked schools just in case? I guess I am trying to figure out where the "safety" cutoff is and my list right now is 25 schools so idk if thats too much
@RasheedWallaceFan: 25 is on the high end, but you should apply to however many you feel comfortable with. imo, a safety is anywhere you are well above both medians. you can look at my school list for inspo if you'd like
you shouldn't apply to anywhere you wouldn't realistically go if it was your only offer
for sure, thank you a lot. Have fun at michigan that will be awesome!

i do them in between studying to keep sane
@RasheedWallaceFan: take your list and research the city, campus, tuition, bar passage, employment by sector, etc.!!! it might help you narrow down your school choices
also don't pay much attention to the people on reddit. there's genuinely good advice but there's a ton of people who are just energy vampires (average reddit user)
@NosyBeagle: that is so real

The real reason why lawyers are alchoholics... Because there is so much of a wait time between tests and scores.

i already became one in undergrad so ill fit right in
Are the 7sage app requirements as far as essays go accurate? I would love to spend my summer preparing my applications but I dont want to waste time writing essays that wont be there. Is there a way to know what will be on the apps, or when those apps will be available to view? Or should I just focus on my PS and DS for now?
@RasheedWallaceFan: they were accurate for me, but school requirements change year to year and there's no way for anyone to know for sure
