I intend to send the following message on behalf of this panel, with the support of (ais523 && BobTHJ) or ((ais523 || BobTHJ) && Murphy): One panelist (Goethe) notes that we have successfully used delimiters to reasonably unambiguously refer to "" and know who was meant; however this disagrees with another panelist (BobTHJ's) appellant arguments so we merely REMAND for further pondering, perhaps for the judge to take a poll on how many find it confusing, or perhaps to decide, as the right to choose one's own nickname is tradition and not rule, that the true nickname includes the delimiters. However, it's important to note that the Appellant's comments about the Patent Title "" may not be an argument worth making, as the patent title in question is not itself defined in the rules. -Goethe
