The patent was filed recently and the technology behind InsightCast.ai Generative Stories (referenced here) in now “Patent Pending”.
Edits and Modifications
The lawyer made a number of changes to the order in which I had written the patent. He used the entire content I had written shout modifications, but added a bunch of legal language to make the claims more generic.
He also asked me to renumber the drawings to make the numbering less ambiguous. I also added step by step instructions on the various processes per my lawyers request.
