EOC Week Three: Jeopardy

This is a description of Adam’s Jeopardy Game. I am building this game from the definitions in the Patent, Copyright & Trademark text. I have never done this before and I have no interest in the game or watching it on television, but it is an assignment and I have to do it. There e are four different categories in the game and five different award sections. The groups I have chosen for my question are Organizations, Application Process, Patents and Law. The award sections range from $100 question up to the $500 question. I think this game has helped me to do my revision so I can get familiar with the texts and where to find them when I need a particular definition. This Contracts and Negotiations class is really helpful to me because it has helped me understand my rights in terms of business and invention. My skills and ideas are unique and it is to my best interest to protect and benefit from them by patenting and copyrighting my inventions and materials. The way this game will be played is by me running a description of a term from the text on the screen and one of the students from a group that’s chosen attempts to crack the answer. Each question is worth a particular amount of points, as specified earlier in the blog, depending on its difficulty level. An example of one of the $100 question is (Blank) is a grant by the USPTO that allows the rightful owner to maintain a monopoly for a period of time on use and development of invention. Answer: What is a PATENT? Question2: (Blank) is a term for someone who sues for the patent infringement but doesn’t make or sell any products using the patent technology. Answer: What is PATENT ROLL? I have no intentions on making the game very difficult to the level of impossibility but neither will I make it that easy.

EOOC WEEK 2: What Do You Think Of Lawyes?

I think of lawyers as parasites or scavengers. They use you and your money and after they’ve sucked you dry, they throw you to the curb and move on to the next victim. From personal experience, I had a legal case, details omitted for privacy, and I knew I needed a lawyer to represent me in court. I explained to him my situation and he said we had a case. I quoted me his hourly fees and we agreed to a payment plan. After filling the case, we proceeded with court appearances. The defense had as good lawyer as mine. Some court days went well for me and others not that good. But after every court appearance, my lawyer shook hands with the defense lawyer; they chuckled and cracked a joke or two. My lawyer seemed to have a good relation with the judge as well, as they chuckled as well after court session. They left me wondering if I was being taken for a legal ride as I’d heard around from other people. I always made frequent visits to lawyers’ office before next court proceeding to see where I stand in succeeding and winning. I always encouraged me to continue and of course asked for his monthly pay after the meeting. Out of curiosity, I inquired with another lawyer and he said I had a weak case and was probably going to lose the case. I forwarded this over to my attorney and advised me he knew what he was doing and should continue with the case. Due to weak evidence on my side, the case was thrown out on numerous occasions. My lawyer advised me to file appeals as he’d found a glitch in the case, and as always reminded me to make my payment to his cashier on my way out. To cut long story short , my lawyer knew at one point that I was going to lose, but as long as I had my right to appeal, he kept getting paid. Lawyers have no feelings.

Week 1: EOC ABOUT ME

I am an Architectural Drafting and Design student at The Art Institute of Las Vegas. I am per suing my AA Degree. I have always been in structural drawings, floor plans and overall elevations houses and buildings. Since my childhood, I’ve always liked like to draw & doodle everything I see of think of. One day I was at a clinic waiting on my dentist and was gazing at the ceiling and started wondering how construction is done to hold this ceiling that was above my head. From that day, I looked at building structures differently and started to imagine structural images I’d want to create. I have from then used programs like Google Sketch Up. It’s a very intuitive program and is very user friendly for the average beginner. It’s quite easy to create your own designs, floor plans and elevations. It is a beginner’s tool and is not the professional. To advance my skills and make a leaving from my talent, I needed to find someone to teach me how to use a different program called AutoCAD. Everyone in the field uses this famous program and are required to learn in it in order to be hired by an Architectural firm. I then decided to browse for schools and ended up registering at the Art Institute. I have just started my first class and am having fun. Hopefully, I learn to advance my skills and excel at being an Architectural Drafter and Designer.
