My first patent was issued today.

Crush­ing my exu­ber­ant mood, my company’s top lawyer sug­gested that due to a recent Supreme Court deci­sion, this one is “prob­a­bly unenforceable.”

You might also notice that the pro­vi­sional appli­ca­tion was filed nearly 7 years ago. I was a sum­mer intern then. My how time flies.
