Lip gloss

From Patentbarquestions

[ Lip Gloss/Ship Bell ]

These questions have to do with experimental use and 102(b) rejections.

Experimental use doesn’t start the one year clock for 102(b), but using the invention in a non-experimental way

(even in a stupid way) starts the one year clock for 102(b). It doesn’t matter if no one knew about the invention

(e.g., corset) or could tell that the use was “public”.
