A terminal disclaimer may be filed in a pending patent application, or reexamination proceeding, in order to obviate a non-statutory double patenting rejection over a U.S. patent or application. Following passage of the America Invents Act (AIA), the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) made a change to its regulations concerning the party that may provide a terminal disclaimer.
I saw your report on trimming and shaping shrubs and wondered when was the best time. No, it is not too late to trim your boxwoods. I prune my boxwood hedge twice a year, once in the very early spring and again in late summer. Believe it or not, the hedge thrives from this kind of treatment. Boxwoods are a broad-leafed evergreen â just like hollies, azaleas and rhododendrons.
If temperatures become extremely hot in summer, boxwood plants will appreciate afternoon shade and regular watering. Water deeply, as frequent, shallow irrigation will not reach the root zone of the growing boxwood. Until established, after about two years, boxwoods will need at least weekly watering.any varieties and cultivars of boxwood plants exist. Boxwoods are grown for foliage as their flowers are insignificant. Growing boxwood in your home landscape allows you to create a formal hedge, a matching border or a pair of boxwood plants to balance an entryway.
