Episode 1: 606%, A Very Old Application, and the Art of the Obvious

Patent prosecution has never been this entertaining. In this debut episode of the Patentlytics Podcast, host Bobby Walling breaks down the past week in patent prosecution, and there's plenty to unpack. Why did one art unit issue 606% more office actions than average? What does a TV remote, a pixel-count article, and a movie about cruises have to do with a 103 rejection? And how does a patent application filed in 2006 (when "I Wanna Love You" was topping the charts) end up receiving its second final office action in 2026? If you've ever wondered what patterns are hiding inside the patent system, this is your show.
