MORNING JOHN: why i wished i had not done patent searches to later is a little different to what u mention .. i read and photo copied hundreds of patents on my topic .. my invention is extremely novel and original and the down fall in reading patents was my patent figures, terminology and narrative was laid out in a similar way as the other patents making my invention seem similar to all the others which it is far from. Combined with my patent attourneys patent writing style my novel invention no longer had a novel patent and i dont really recognize it. thanks to your videos i am now writing my patent in a novel and different way than all the others with a lot more plain english .. i hope this resonates with the examiner - hope to send it to you for your 3 min over view ( will take several weeks to re write 👍)
