Patent # 5133501 Adjustable Sprinkler Riser. I helped him develop it and created the prototype. He got the patent in his name. He is no longer interested in it . I would like to renew the patent in my own name, please.
Thank you.

Sorry, but that patent is long gone.
Your husband failed to pay the 3rd maintenance fee, so it expired in July 2004. Even if he would have paid it, it would be expired about 11 years ago.

Not this summer. The daughter must be a derivative beneficiary. That is, she must be able to qualify for adjustment of status based upon her mom’s current immigrant visa. This requires an understanding of how the current visa bulletin works.

No. The sentencing hearing is not the correct forum to argue new evidence supports the defendant's innocence, unless it is presented as a mitigating sentencing argument. A better approach would be to file a motion to reconsider the verdict based on newly discovered evidence.

You should avoid asking for benefits considered by USCIS to be public benefits. Unemployment benefits are NOT public benefits (it is insurance that you pay into) and thus you can collect those. A list of public benefits and more info on "Public charge" can be found here:... Read more »

I THINK YOU SHOULD POST THIS ON A FAMILY LAW SITE............WE DON'T HANDLE THIS KIND OF MATTER.
HOWEVER, I BELIEVE MOST LAWYERS, IF THEY TOOK THE CASE, WOULD ONLY DO SO ON AN HOURLY..........NOT A CONTINGENCY.
THUS, HE NEEDS TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT WITH A LOCAL FAMILY LAW ATTORNEY.-
I have proof that I contacted them way before any time statutes past, but they will not even look at it.
If your right to appeal has passed, there is no practical way to get them to take up your case. Whether you can approach the dispute from a litigation standpoint, i.e., in court, depends on much more information than you have provided here.

Such as provider group info, contact info. I was rear ended, while at stop light.
you should have asked you lawyer why.
however, we do it so med calls can be paid by insurance, thus putting more money into the pockets of the client.
Such as provider group info, contact info. I was rear ended, while at stop light.
Because when you are done with all your treatment we have to send off to ALL your medical providers to get your full medical record. We also need to know who paid for your medical services... such as Medicare, Medi-Cal or private insurance because they need to be paid back. As the previous post... Read more »

I worked an over night 7pm-current time 2pm the next day & im still waiting for someone to relieve me and the guy who hired me has not texted or called to let me know if someone is on there way or if I will be staying here longer or if I could even take a break.
There is nothing unlawful with an employer telling you to work until relieved, even if that might involve 12 or more hours. I have seen people in your situation be required to work 24 hours and more. That is not unlawful.
What is unlawful is if you are not being properly being paid... Read more »

Car was out of gas at night with no lights or Indicators on. Crashed into it. Who is at fault?
Actually there is some case law on this that says you can hold the other driver responsible and if there was a recent visit to a mechanic and a problem wasn't fixed, you could even hold the shop liable.
