I stumbled across an article the other day that noted unusual collective nouns for animals. For example, a group of crows is referred to as a “murder of crows.” Some other examples are a “coalition of cheetahs,” a “convocation of eagles, a “mob of kangaroos,” an “unkindness of ravens,” a “drove of asses,” and an “embarrassment of pandas.”
In the patent community, we don’t really have any collective nouns for patent professionals. So, I thought it might be good to get the ball rolling. Here are some possibilities with some left blank for you to exercise your imagination.
A shrewdness of patent prosecutors. (FYI, “shrewdness” is also used for a “shrewdness of apes.”)
An ambush of patent litigators. (An “ambush of tigers” is already in use.)
A gauntlet of patent trolls.
A bellowing of patent bloggers.
A cacophony of patent blog commentators.
A wisdom of PTAB judges. (“Wisdom” is currently used for a “wisdom of wombats.”)
A __________ of Federal Circuit judges.
A __________ of Supreme Court justices espousing on 35 U.S.C. §101.
A ___________of Federal Circuit clerks.
A ___________ of patent law professors.
