Last note:

I filed a utility in April 2015
after I filed they decided to copying my invention, thinking that if they changed the color of the light that would be ok. however my embodiment's cover all options etc.
How does one check and report this?
Thanks

I was wondering if this claim counts as 11

https://www.google.com/patents/US5915941?dq=fishing+light+pipe+us&hl=en&sa=X&ei=-L0OVdGYLpP7gwTXpoSYAw&ved=0CDMQ6wEwAw

and this claim counts as 19

https://www.google.com/patents/US5416676?dq=A+submersible+lighting+device+comprising:+a+transparent+rigid+housing,+an+input+electrical+cord+for+providing+power+to+the+device,+a+fluorescent+tubular+light+bulb+disposed+within+the+housing,+the+tubular+light+bulb+having+a+first+end+and+a+second+end&hl=en&sa=X&ei=tMAOVYTSM5KOyASzwILwCg&ved=0CB4Q6wEwAA

and if any of them are considered INDEPENDENT CLAIMS
and what the fees would be for independent claims for a MICRO PATENT FILING?
Thanks
Sam


6.4. Dependent Claims
•   (a) Any claim which includes all the features of one or more other claims (claim in dependent form, hereinafter referred to as “dependent claim”) shall do so by a reference, if possible at the beginning, to the other claim or claims and shall then state the additional features claimed. Any dependent claim which refers to more than one other claim (“multiple dependent claim”) shall refer to such claims in the alternative only. Multiple dependent claims shall not serve as a basis for any other multiple dependent claim. Where the national law of the national Office acting as International Searching Authority does not allow multiple dependent claims to be drafted in a manner different from that provided for in the preceding two sentences, failure to use that manner of claiming may result in an indication under Article 17 (2)(b) in the international search report. Failure to use the said manner of claiming shall have no effect in a designated State if the manner of claiming actually used satisfies the national law of that State.
•   (b) Any dependent claim shall be construed as including all the limitations contained in the claim to which it refers or, if the dependent claim is a multiple dependent claim, all the limitations contained in the particular claim in relation to which it is considered.
•   (c) All dependent claims referring back to a single previous claim, and all dependent claims referring back to several previous claims, shall be grouped together to the extent and in the most practical way possible.

Hi, Brad
That's what I was thinking,

so the drawings get inserted into lets say a word document
the converted into a pdf format
unlimited drawings are allowed?
the page size is 8 1/2 x 11
the boarder indents are 1 inch top, bottom and sides?
and the drawing must fit inside the borders
is it required to include cross hairs on the pages?
page number looks like it should be on top center

what else is required to file a non provisional

OK, Cool, since I converted some good part photos to Black and White drawings used as diagrams, but not line drawings,

and do not have any line drawing yet. It is good to know that I can still file them, giving me time to have some line drawings make.

Where would someone post to find someone that does drawings?
