If you DON'T get a rejection on the first go... you haven't done your job for your client. The only thing you get from a successful first-pass application is a simple and (likely) worthless (or at least worth LESS) patent that's probably nowhere near as beneficial as it could have been. How do you know you've got the broadest claim(s) possible - that the patent office/examiner will allow - if you don't test the top line?!? You don't!! Sure, maybe you save your client a few thousand dollars by eliminating the follow-up and additional steps, but knowledgeable and professional patent attorneys do NOT work this way. Because that's NOT the way to get the highest value patent.
Experienced patent attorneys will start with a single, very broad, independent claim, and support that with similarly broad dependent claims. The first (independent) claim will be all-encompassing (kitchen sink), with the second (dependent) claim being the highest priority discerning feature of the invention, followed by the third (dependent) claim usually being a further narrowing or deeper feature of the second... and so on, in a stair-step fashion from higher priority and breadth to the lowest - broad and deep.
Who would have thought that Amazon could get such a broad patent for their one-click buy button?!? Well, we'd NEVER know that was possible if Amazon's patent attys had submitted an application that was designed/worded so that it would be accepted on the first pass... without a doubt!
I've personally reviewed thousands patents in my past work, including hundreds in scrutinizing detail from the claims to the drawing callouts and the detailed invention disclosure and descriptions - including my own and those for my companies and a previous employer. This is how it works. And most patents DO NOT have broad claims, but the most valuable ones do - and this is clearly what Bravatek is going for.
Of course, anything like this presents an opportunity for some to try to make a play on the stock with uninformed traders/investors.
The ~$20M-ish that's traded BVTK over the recent weeks is from lottery-playing early OTC traders and, until right about now, only a handful of savvy "true" investors. That's a drop in the bucket compared to what (I believe) could be flowing in from smart money very soon.
A pullback caused by fear mongering and misunderstanding of the patent process is exactly what savvy sideliners would hope for - a great opportunity for those with deeper pockets and others who came late to the party to take the shares away from the uninformed hobby traders who may have made a few bucks... load up and average up from the subs to dollars, and make a killing because, what? Those uninformed iHubbers didn't have a clue how the patent process works? Later to be seen laughing and throwing parties on the deck of their new home in a Baja California oceanfront resort.
