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.
Shade protects certain boxwood from becoming orange in winter. Although boxwood will grow in full sun, some varieties are prone to losing their green color. Spring renews the green, and the only way to prevent the color change is to supply the boxwood with more shade.Most boxwood prefer to grow in part shade. Certain ones will tolerate greater amounts of shade.For example, Green Mountain -- a hybrid that grows 3 to 5 feet tall -- can tolerate nearly full shade. It will not grow as well or develop as much fullness as it would in its preferred sun to partial-shade conditions.lthough boxwood will grow in full sun, some varieties are prone to losing their green color.
