MECHANICAL

A6686-1-P: Together Forever Burial System

Father (who is also a grand champion BBQ pitmaster, coach, plumber, and devoted children' s hospital volunteer) and daughter (who is also a mother of two, a grandmother, a construction accountant, and advocate for men's breast cancer awareness) have co-invented a unique burial system. They noticed a problem with the traditional burial process after a good friend of theirs had to pay to exhume their loved one to place additional family remains. This invention improves upon similar products because it allows cremated remains of a spouse, pet or loved one to be added into the casket of prior burial from the top of the ground without it having to be dug up. The system will go from the top of the ground through the vault and through the casket into the inside of the casket and be sealed off forever with the marker for the additional remains.

Georgia PATENTS is pleased to share a new resource for under-resourced inventors:

the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) Pro Bono Program. For more information on this Program, please visit: https://www.ptabbar.org/ptab_pro_bono.php

Inventors must meet the same financial criteria as inventors to the Georgia PATENTS Program, but do not need to come through a Patents Pro Bono Program to be eligible for free legal assistance. Volunteers provide free legal assistance in preparing ex parte appeals to the PTAB. This new program is provided through the PTAB Bar Association. Given Georgia PATENTS does not ask its volunteers to assist with appeals (although they may), please refer any inventors seeking assistance with PTAB appeals to:https://ptabbar.org/information_for_inventors.php

Also, if any volunteer for the Patents Pro Bono Program would like to volunteer for the PTAB Pro Bono Program, please submit a volunteer form: https://www.ptabbar.org/ptab_pro_bono.php
