Life is an endless series of experiments with opportunities for learning...

We tried megathreads to group off career/pro se inventor questions, but after observing the results, they didn't work. They got less engagement (it's easier to ignore a post that just says "inventor megathread" than to ignore one that says "I filed an application and my attorney spontaneously combusted, what do?"), and also didn't completely reduce the repeat questions we had generally.

So, we're trying something else... The megathreads are going away, and it's once more a free-for-all... here. Professionals, if you get bugged by this, join r/patents, which will be concentrated for just professional practice/jurisprudence discussions. We will be more rigorously enforcing a "no student/pro se" questions rule there and directing everyone to repost their question here in r/patentlaw.

Ideally, you join both - r/patents for professional legal discussions, r/patentlaw for everything else. Should make it easy to set your notifications to how you want.

For inventors and students, please check the Wiki. Most of your questions are answered there.
