Replay allows users to share programs they've already recorded with others via the "Send Show" feature. This transmits up to 15 digital copies of shows over the Internet to other ReplayTV owner.
This also allows people who have not paid for premium channels to watch premium content for free.
almost every time the applicant replies they pay money too, every time they add new claims they pay money, add an information disclosure statment, or make an appeal.
the PTO gets paid almost every time.
examiners don't get paid more for rejecting, any more than they do for allowances.
its 17-25 hours for the first round of examination.
asuming that the patent application is not allowed before a final rejection is issued, the applicant may file a request for continued examination.
This starts the clock all over again, as the applicant must ammend their claims or provide additional arguements for the examiner to consider. The examiner then has another 17-25hours etc to apply a new non final rejection, followed by a final rejection or allowance.
This repeats many many times. The total examination time over several years might be more like 100 hours.
oddly enough I pay 159 dollars a month for medicare, which i am ineligible to use.
My employer and I together pay 110 a month for my PPO service, which entitles me to go anywhere I want and I only pay 20% of the bill.
too bad I can't get that medicare money back, and subsidize my private plan, or place it in an investment account for when I am old and actually would use the money.
Tsutaya used to do this when I went to school there.
When CD's cost around 30 bucks, due inpart to the multiple middlemen in Japan (in part the source of their low unemployment figures), I would expect copying to be a problem.
not exactly, requires pressing an application button (though you might be able to argue that the power off button is the same) to open an application, prior to displaying the last known state
pressing the button to put it in a soft power off status is an extra step, which may/may bit cause problems with the "comprising" portion of the claim, as comprising is more openended than consisting.

Perhaps if you actually looked at the cited references (for example 5,007,008 ), they disclose a calculator that does exactly that. There is also a reference with a published date of 85 which is directed towards a similar problem.
Neither of these address parts C&D of each independant claim.
the other half of the claims have nothing to do with that (c) opening an application if the application button is released prior to the expiration of a threshold time limit; and
(d) opening the application and automatically causing the application to display the last known state of the application if the application button is pressed, without being released, for a period equal to or in excess of the threshold time limit.
plus how would you show motivation to combine a baseball/video game with the above?
unfortuneatly, that doesn't have anything to do with parts c&d in claim one. Most of the other claims are very similiar.

A lot of people here are saying the same thing, but the claims require more than just holding a button for a set length of time to preform some mysterious action. Each independant has it preform a different function.
probably because that isn't what the patent claims say
i dont see steps: (c) opening an application if the application button is released prior to the expiration of a threshold time limit; and

Actually the average patent examiner knows quite a bit about a particular subject.
Each examiner only works in a specific technology, for example an examiner who looks at fasteners, will not be the same examiner who examines biotechnology. Examiners only examine patents in a particular subset of a technolofy, and as such, they may even know more than the actual engineers in that technology.
What most people don't understand is that specific implementations get patented. Check and see how many mousetrap patents there are, each one has some additional limitation which differentiates a patent.
Plus the slashdot crowd does seem to have a problem with the concept of inpermissible hindsight. Remember, everything looks obvious in hindsight. The job of the examiner is to decide if something is obvious AT THE TIME OF INVENTION. That can be particularily difficult if an application has priority 10+ years back.

the sumida river ones in tokyo are pretty sweet and last about 1.5 hours
my 5040 has it, the "newest" series doesnt, but you can buy the 5040 off replay's website for about 130 bucks.
the claims have to be read in light of the specification
you can't reject something with art outside the scope of the invention

i guess you could use two screwdrivers or some other link, but this seems easier to me
you don't need a mod chip anymore
you will need to do some sodering though
you won't be able to play xbox live, but there are alternative networks out there
you can play your games straight off the hd, load times are almost non-existant!
a couple years back you could link together two voodoo2 cars together to run games at a higher resolution. It did require a special cable as I recal.
Perhaps something like that?

I actually saw one at the tokyo motorcycle show earlier this month.
You would never want to drive it, the wheel base is enormous. Oddly enough, it was one of the few bike displays that didn't have booth babes.

i've had my passat for 4 years and 42k miles. zero problems so far. survived being t-boned. Costs:just maintenance items, which I do myself.
I think they have cut down on the costs of programming by creating all these reality shows. They shouldbe cheap to produce.
You are required by law to present all prior art you are aware off.
Now if you did a search on your own, you should disclose those references.
If you read some published patents, the inventor discusses some of the cited references and how the invention differes from the prior art.
