Thank you! this made it all so easy to understand, came here in a panic because i got an office action thinking that was a bad thing, but now that i know what I'm looking at, I realize i didn't get rejected! HOORAY!

[@PatentsDemystified]

So pleased to hear that Stevo! Glad to hear that this video was helpful. If the Examiner asserted novelty rejections (35 U.S.C. 102) this video might help as well: ua-cam.com/video/4hK7TKBD21U/v-deo.html Thanks for watching and leaving a comment - I really appreciate it!

I am currently working on an invention application which I fear may result in a secrecy order. Could you cover the PTO process and responses regarding secrecy orders?

[@PatentsDemystified]

Secrecy orders are extremely rare. I've never had an application be subject to one and I don't know a patent attorney that has ever had to deal with one. I've even done a lot of work on military technology and rockets and those applications were allowed to proceed. I would suggest just filing the application, and in the unlikely event that it is subject to a secrecy order, find one of the few patent attorneys that has actually addressed one.

Hi , I am an IP attorney in India and I am highly impressed by your videos. I was just wondering if we could help each other expand our horizons and work beyond boundaries through our association. Let me know if you are interested and we can discuss further on e-mail/Phone. Thanks
