Once you have these dimensions, to determine the tablecloth size, add the drop X 2 to each dimension of your table. Example: Table size is 30x72 ; desired drop is 12. 12 (drop size) X 2= 24. Add 30 + 24= 54. Add 72 + 24= 96.
(b) Any request for reconsideration of the patent term adjustment indicated on the patent must be by way of an application for patent term adjustment filed no later than two months from the date the patent was granted. This two-month period may be extended under the provisions of Â§ 1.136(a).
Sometime after you pay the issue fee, the USPTO will send an Issue Notification containing your patent issue date and coveted patent number. After the patent issues, it's just a matter of paying maintenance fees due at 4, 8 and 12 years to keep the patent enforceable during its 20-year lifespan. Successfully steering an invention all the way to a patent is one reason inventors seem to generate a sense of awe. It takes a certain feistiness to make it happen.
