No existing work instructs patent practitioners regarding the legal pitfalls of patent claim drafting in light of major court decisions and related to the substantive aspects of patent law as it exists today in a portable and relatively compact form. Patent Claim Drafting Practice addresses common concerns and/or pitfalls in this area of law, offering invaluable knowledge drawn from experience.For the less experienced practitioner, Patent Claim Drafting Practice discusses the basics of patent claim drafting. In particular, patent claim drafting mechanics is treated in detail. Extensive discussion is provided on types of patent infringement and types of patent claims. Patent claim construction is also handled. This discussion of the legal rules related to claim construction is used as a springboard to develop a set of principles to guide claim drafting.For the practitioner with a bit of experience desiring to sharpen his or her skills, Patent Claim Drafting Practice develops and provides a set of guiding principles to use when drafting patent claims, both basic principles and relatively advanced principles, respectively identified as such. The book, therefore, provides an extensive discussion for handling many important drafting issues, such as patent eligibility considerations, as simply one important example. In addition to providing up-to-date legal analysis based on up-to-date case law, many other considerations that may affect how best to draft patent claims are discussed, such as underlying economics or markets, differences in technical arts, etc. Throughout the book, discussions are supported with many examples of patent claim drafting using state of the art technology examples.The book, consequently, covers a host of patent law considerations and doctrines that have the potential to affect the drafting of patent claims. The book highlights key principles using bolded text within text boxes throughout. In addition to listing key principles at the beginning of each chapter and in an appendix, the book also includes in an appendix a sample of patent application boilerplate that covers a wide range of existing technologies.

For centuries the Jewish community in Europe possessed a copy of Matthew in the Hebrew language. The Jews' use of this document during the Middle Ages is imperfectly known. Occasionally excerpts from it appeared in polemical writings against Christianity. By the end of the fourteenth century, however, the entire Hebrew Gospel appeared in the polemical treatise Even Bonham, by the Spanish writer Shem-Tob ben -Isaac ben- Shaprut. An important thrust to this volume is to establish that the Hebrew Matthew of the Even Bohan predates the fourteenth century. It shares many readings with ancient Christian writings, some of which were lost in antiquity only to reappear in modern times. These included Codex Sinaiticus, the Old Syriac version, the Coptic Gospel of Thomas, and a host of others. It also analyzes the language, artistic touches, and theology of the Hebrew Gospel.

Twelve-year-old Mikey Pruitt - president, founder, and CEO of Anything, Inc. - has always been an entrepreneur at heart. Inspired by his grandfather Pap Pruitt, who successfully ran all sorts of businesses from a car wash to a roadside peanut stand, Mikey is still looking for his million-dollar idea. Unfortunately, most of his ideas so far have failed. A baby tornado ran off with his general store, and the kids in his neighbourhood never did come back for their second croquet lesson. But Mikey is determined to keep at it. It isn’t until kid drag queen Coco Caliente, Mistress of Madness and Mayhem (aka eighth grader Julian Vasquez) walks into his office (aka his family’s storage/laundry room) looking for an agent that Mikey thinks he’s finally found his million-dollar idea, and the Anything Talent and Pizzazz Agency is born! Soon, Mikey has a whole roster of kid clients looking to hit it big or at least win the middle school talent show’s hundred-dollar prize. As newly out Mikey prepares Julian for the gig of a lifetime, he realises there’s no rule book for being gay - and if Julian can be openly gay at school, maybe Mikey can, too, and tell his crush, dreamy Colton Sanford, how he feels. Full of laughs, sass, and hijinks, this hilarious, heartfelt story shows that with a little effort and a lot of love, anything is possible.

This book aims to increase the pleasure of studying Shakespeare, working with the plays as the craftsman-dramatist himself worked by concentrating on poetic detail and dramatic moments. The book offers an accessible nuts-and-bolts approach in steadily broadening focus: from the way lines and speeches are put together to such large concerns as genre distinctions and the representation of gender. Eleven plays are introduced in chronological order, nine of them reappearing in later chapters in order to illustrate further topics. Comparisons draw on alternative texts, subsequent adaptations and excerpts on the same subjects from works in other literary genres. Appendices to each chapter provide materials for further exercises. A linked aim is to help students form an independent relation to existing commentary. Running through the book is an evaluative history, with generous quotations, of both traditional criticism and the revolutionary approaches of recent years. Contents: Preface and acknowledgements; Introduction; Voices; Words; Speeches; Scenes; Gender, Genre and Grabbing; Notes; Bibliography; Index.
