reasons for allowance

Read a random definition: act of Congress

A quick definition of reasons for allowance:

Reasons for Allowance: This refers to the explanation or statement provided for why an allowance is given. It can be found in a document called RULE109 STATEMENT. This document outlines the rules and guidelines for receiving an allowance and explains why a child is eligible to receive it.

A more thorough explanation:

REASONS FOR ALLOWANCE

Reasons for allowance refer to the justifications provided by a patent examiner for granting a patent application. These reasons are outlined in a document called a RULE109 STATEMENT.

Example 1: A patent application for a new type of smartphone is submitted to the patent office. The examiner reviews the application and determines that the invention is novel, non-obvious, and useful. The examiner provides a RULE109 STATEMENT outlining these reasons for allowance, and the patent is granted.

Example 2: A patent application for a perpetual motion machine is submitted to the patent office. The examiner reviews the application and determines that the invention violates the laws of thermodynamics and is therefore impossible. The examiner provides a RULE109 STATEMENT outlining this reason for rejection, and the patent is not granted.

Reasons for allowance are the justifications provided by a patent examiner for granting a patent application. In Example 1, the examiner determines that the invention meets the criteria for patentability and provides a RULE109 STATEMENT outlining these reasons. In Example 2, the examiner determines that the invention is impossible and provides a RULE109 STATEMENT outlining this reason for rejection. These examples illustrate how the reasons for allowance or rejection are critical in determining whether a patent application is granted or not.

I do think people might be using the term unicorn PI too liberally
13:51
Used to mean career outcomes that were pretty much only possible out of HYS and maybe NYU
Some consider Unicorn PI to include things like Asst US Attorney. In that case, you can achieve that by going anywhere that will allow you sit for the bar so long as your grades are strong and your internships and/or clerkships align.

Chowie go to Berk cause that's probably where I end up
16:34
But in all seriousness I would take Miami. If you're 100% committed to PI I don't think the .1% outcome that may be possible from Berk is worth taking on insane debt

I got waitlisted at an in-state school above both medians. The whole idea was that it's a cheaper, accessible option than my sole A. This cycle is brutal.
