[rollei_list] Re: US Patent and Trademark Office

Interesting.
I used to work for a company that had an apartment in Crystal City, just down the road from the Pentagon.*
Somewhere in one of the connected buildings, (maybe even the basement of the Crystal City complex) was some portion of the Patent Office, forgot just what they did. I walked in, looked around and walked out since I didn't have anything to look for. Also, I find that reading patents is a very boring process. Every succeeding claim includes the prior claim, all in detail. They muck up the drawings so that you can't even recognize your own patents.
I would guess that being a patent attorney would be a well paying, stress-free line of business, but I think it would be very boring.

*With regard to the Pentagon, I was once able to write a trip report which concluded: "The last person we saw was the secretary of defense". Of course the truth is that we saw his back and he never saw us.
