exabyte administration continues pto china. campus will go into fentanyl.ankford toughest border bill fentanyl misrepresentation is beingbeing smuggledby these people coming over. much better screening process. that would be i bill. hypocrisy willing it's pretty gave stuck in my mind. if you take a sugar packet and get three of these in opioid et five of these and you are dead. it is notit's not exactly like the drug cartels in t of putting how many of fentanyl in. start the pointou are killing your customers. i think whether it is europe and this is a scourge that is exponentially a greater problem. we've got to do more on border. think more pressure should be put on china.f the composition because it is so rare the chemicals you can find somewhere. it was a real frustrating. >> appreciate doing it. you think warning usa is a serious threat? >> who is warding? what'swarden?what's mike morel. i am curious what accounts for the public uptick in warnings? it is an election year so yes i'm just curious and wondering is this a political fear mongering? >> and n

i might note that those are set by the pto.under this bill we will have the patent and trademark office set them. when congress passed the act in 2023 the law required the u.s. pto director to infuse punitive fines for entities sending those title for the reduced fees. however, the finding is in the amount less than three times the reduction of fees. right now there is no exception provided by law for the entity that made an error in their filing in good faith. an example of a good faith error is if an employee is categorized as a contractor. another example, if a good faith mistake is made regarding the belief as to the number of employees who qualify under the entity. the impact of these fines can be harmful to small businesses. if they had no intent, we do not want them find, we want them corrected. harsh fines may deter them from seeking benefits of micro entities because the status of savings is far less then the possibility of a trouble fine. to ensure that they take advantage of reduced fees, this bill gives the director

that he thinks he is running for president, you should not even be running for president of the local pto is part of the sacrifice they must put on the altar no matter what as it's part of their religion. thank you very much net, great stuff. >> thank you pete. >> a first class trooper was killed in a hit-and-run. that man is a hero. and instead of flying the american flag at half mast, the town of wethersfield connecticut decided to lower the pride flag. and what about the thin blue line flag which honours are mended women in blue? will that is not allowed because it is racist. just ask this activist councilmember. >> i will just say that i will absolutely not support the blue line flag if that is the flag and that is the decision. that flag was either created or at least became very prevalent in direct response to the black lives matter protests. it is viewed as antagonistic even if you don't see it that way. and i don't think that is a good flag to fly, especially not with further discussion. i would be open to other ideas, but absolutely not this one. >> the mind of a confused individ

already used up all her pto so she could be home for halloween, and -- [ laughter ] we're zooming, i'ms. i want you to test the turkey before you eat it, make sure it hasn't been laced with anything." i'm like, "you want me to what?" [ laughter ] test is one of my trigger words because i am still in high school. [ laughter ] and i don't do any kind of tests, okay? that's why i don't have a license. [ light laughter ] but i should have tested this turkey, folks. here's what happened. my dad takes this thing out of the garbage bag it was in and it stunk like a skunk from hell. [ light laughter ] i'm like, "yo, where did you get this turkey?" my dad was like, "ehh, don't worry about it, i got it off the dark web. it was a little cheaper because it died from bird flu. but --" [ laughter ] "but don't worry, you can't get bird flu from eating something that died from bird flu, i checked." i'm like, "well, that sucks. i've been trying to get bird flu for like 20 years now." [ laughter ] because it does turn your dookie white for a day if you get it, that's real. [ light laughter ] it's real.

counselor for each grade level, but it just really isn't enough and a lot of schools-it kind of-there is pto or lowel-able to fund a second librarian or nurse the full week opposed to 2 and a half days so if you get injured monday, you got a nurse, but tuesday you are out of luck. that's something happening in the schools and i just feel that is crazy because they don't have a affluent enough pta to fund the nurse. that should be basic. we shouldn't have to ask for donations to fund a school nurse. >> that ties into the mental health issues people are facing. covid was detrimental to everyone but especially young people who spnt hours a day online and away from mental health support in a really difficult time and i think people are beginning to realize now how important those services are. i think there is work to do but advocase hads been relatively successful in san francisco getting more support for mental health but there is a huge gap we are now catching up with. it was never priority before the pandemic and beginning to become one now but there are so many young people struggling and w

i don't get flex time, i don't get to get pto and when we build these budgets, we want to talk about efficiency. and i agree with that. but we also have to respect the people that work in these positions, and that we are asking them to do a tremendous amount of work, or at least i am, because we put community first. and i would like for our org chart to show that we respect the work that people are doing, because although it doesn't show on there, we work with every department in the city and county of san francisco, whether it's office of racial equity, whether it's outreach and engagement, whether it is having a better understanding of how city services work, we are focused on the human people, the humanity of the city. and that means that we do our best to touch everyone. so it may look like it's like out of alignment. but if we actually went down and paid attention to like what the work is and what it looks like, we would see that we actually are understaffed. as i mentioned before, we have seven people that are essentially serving 3000 people directly. right. and they can't some

we believe it's technical in incorrecting about giving the authority to the pto to waive the fees ina good faith mistake and with that i yield back. >> the chairman recognizes the ranking member. >> thank you, mr. chairman. hr78 to 3 makes minor technical change to give the patent and trademark the flexibility to decide when to penalize applicants with for fee reductions. when congress passed the unleashing innovative act, funding package, fiscal year 2023 we did so with the intention of making patents no longer the sport of kings but an opportunity for investors to make a decent living. innovators should not have to work for a big-tech company, major manufacturer or any other power house industry to be able to file for a patent but that is exactly what often happens. the hurdles associated with obtaining and owning a patent from hiring a lawyer to search for prior art to paying standard application fees prevent individuals seeking patents to interventions. barriers to entries like this hurt everyone but above all hurt women, minorities that do not have the resources to go it alone.
