This is a two hour, open-book exam. You may consult written materials, but discussions with others are not permitted. Be sure to put your exam number on each page. If more are answered, I will grade only the first 25.
Explanations are unnecessary.
If you feel compelled to explain, use the reverse side of the sheet. Please do not make me guess which question your explanation might address. U.S.C. prohibits agencies other than the PTO from allowing nonlawyers to make appearances on behalf of others. Patent examiners are useful and freely available witnesses in infringement litigation. The PTO is on solid ground in forbidding parties from citing its unpublished decisions.
