Mr. Jones,
This letter is to inform you that your patent application has successfully been submitted to the Patent and Trademark Office on April 12. "four temporary number is TN738R. The certificate of the application and the rights belonging thereto can be obtained from our office upon payment of the remainder of the patent legal fees.
The filing date is a cutoff date because the right to a patent for an invention lies with the first person to file an application for that invention. Please now wait for your patent application to be processed, which can take up to 18 months. You may use the term "Patent Pending” to describe your invention to draw attention to the fact that if a patent of the product is copied after the patent is granted, legal infringements will have been made.
Once you receive the notice of allowance, the patent will be valid for twenty years from the date of originally filing the patent application, provided that maintenance fees are paid after 3, 7 and II years. Extensions are possible if an application is submitted three months before the patent expires. The patent will be valid only in the territory applied for.
The office of Davis Lewis & Partners prides itself on keeping an up-to-date computerized database of the status of their clients’ patents and keeps them adequately informed of any future procedures to be followed.

Feeling run-down or sluggish due to jet lag, many business travelers find that they are frequently unable to concentrate on their work. This loss of work efficiency could prove costly. Jet lag disrupts our natural rhythms, confusing the “body clock,” which regulates the usual waking and sleeping hours.
Jet lag may affect physical and mental performance and the symptoms include fatigue, insomnia, disorientation, headaches, lightheadedness, loss of appetite, and more. Medical evidence also shows that jet lag makes travelers more susceptible to illness such as colds, flu, and upset stomachs. The following are a few simple tips to help you minimize the effects of jet lag:
□ Try to sleep on the plane as much as you can, but immediately adjust your sleeping schedule to the hours of your destination upon arrival. This means staying awake until nightfall if possible, even if you are tired on the day of arrival.
□ Drink plenty of fluids during and after the flight as dehydration is a leading cause of jet lag. This advice also includes avoiding alcoholic and caffeinated drinks.
□ Exercise moderately on the flight while you are awake. Stretch your arms and legs and walk up and down the aisles to stimulate circulation.
□ Adjust your eating schedule to the regular mealtimes of your destination soon after arrival. If possible, refrain from rich or exotic foods for the first couple of days. This will allow you to use your energy to recover and adjust to the new cycle rather than to digest heavy foods.
