Dear Laura<br>
I am writing to support Rich.<br>
<br>
The USPTO documents are in Legal English and are written by Patent<br>
Attorneys -these documents form a representative sample of American<br>
English and to a lesser extent that of other national varieties of written<br>
English. There is a distinction between patent claims and granted<br>
patents. To be authentic, I prefer the granted patents as these documents<br>
have been reviewed by more than one person. I think the USPTO allows you<br>
to make that distinction in their retrieval engine.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Shrug. I'm writing to support the argument against Rich. Patent claims have nothing to with text messaging; they're entirely different. If I asked for information about cookbooks and recipes and someone steered me to their collection of movie reviews, I wouldn't find that helpful at all.</div>
