The terminal disclaimer and continuations proposal creates uncertainty every day that it remains under consideration, disrupting the innovation economy even if the rules are ultimately not adopted. The USPTO should withdraw this proposed rules package immediately and work to restore stability and predictability in the American patent system."</div><div><br></div><div>Ouch.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Dan</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Dec 3, 2024 at 8:18\u202fPM Dan Feigelson <<a href="mailto:djf@iliplaw.com" target="_blank">djf@iliplaw.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.</div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://gcfagjf.r.bh.d.sendibt3.com/tr/cl/vX7TKj3AsJYOvhC8y85H3l_csFtQNzMS0_T5LZIxlXRtRLG-hopaM77yYzzYOmjxEr6Kl7c62dLH-6ZoojBnbdERI1vRFYOnwppsG0ir-z3urXXrIM7pf1rSMmucbQi94yfrXv7ucLX82Xz-kj1wkBxgWltaStBQI0_QiYQpS6HFsxpBnD4lwR054ZURDoQNK-lvz1LW_S0pC8pQKaUPH2uwmfC0oLCHgHTxxMqF6VUL0oi-SpPB1X1x3q4oCCQ5TXtsHSWV-DN750V5pyvh1ulo8YQMGN93hGL4377AhaoIPp7mZgqGTKf8IWUfD0uSv_bxtbzu0ec" target="_blank">https://cdn.patentlyo.com/media/2024/12/2024-282631.pdf</a></div><div><br></div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><span><div><div dir="ltr"><div>comments at <a href="https://gcfagjf.r.bh.d.sendibt3.com/tr/cl/AqcBA4ZbGNadVuvCZ9niIimRy7Umo5iIekRYHgxov8s7UGZ5_qutl2pBWn1X8zHdIedOR5WKxuWPMqgDeIGA_7iKJWIhZXeegp7EUSHcQ994YND2_5B7pLZTKxLLREmJUB4hgquCm55UzY4YIADF9KmRYztrzSLXhB_EQdjBYr0aD2q4SGoTCk60qf7mE-QrM95cN4UXXPpTfc0R7sMqMKfaAEsf0P-_UXbFzUOUZG2diH_YCRgylh35rF0PKzRhIkUHd5wa4SIn_J8YfK36nQ5BmhjGaj8p8NOpeO5GhcozsXfHPw9DDQBDuJGZ4Rhemcsc3cI" target="_blank">www.regulations.gov/document/PTO-P-2024-0003-0001</a></div></div></div></span></div></div></div></div>
