A quick definition of march-in rights:

March-in rights: A rule that allows the government to give someone else permission to use or take away the permission of the person who owns a patent for an invention that was paid for with government money, if the owner or their partner hasn't done enough to use or develop the invention within a reasonable amount of time.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: March-in rights refer to the government's authority to grant a new license or revoke an existing license for a federally funded invention if the owner or licensee has not adequately developed or applied the invention within a reasonable time.

For example, if a company receives federal funding to develop a new drug but fails to bring it to market within a reasonable time, the government may exercise its march-in rights and grant a new license to another company to develop and market the drug.

March-in rights are intended to ensure that federally funded inventions are used for the public good and not solely for the benefit of the patent owner or licensee. They provide a mechanism for the government to intervene if the owner or licensee is not fulfilling their obligations to develop and apply the invention.

You'll forever have those days where shit ain't getting done. Just a matter of how you handle them. (IE using Chatgpt to draft a motion for leave like meeeee)

TiredOfThisGrandpa

13:55

Nah, I don't use it to do my case law. Just the actual motion drafting.

For example, I was trying to get the right language in a Motion for Sanctions (tl;dr slip and fall case, defense counsel played nothing but games – IE never sending records despite it being mandatory to trcp, producing never before seen records DURING A DEPO) and just talked to ChatGPT about his behavior to provide background to help with the drafting for the procedural paragraph.

real quick question. How much do early applications matter? I have super strong softs and an ok LSAT score of 160. GPA wasn't great at 3.33. I applied in late march and I have been rejected everywhere so far

NemoPropheta

16:58

late march is way too late

NemoPropheta

16:58

early doesn’t matter but before thanksgiving matters

Have you used the LSAC search for schools link? It helps a lot letting you know the probability of acceptance.
