Has anyone heard a peep from the #USPTO about this milestone? I have not.

@e7f76f0d Didn’t they used to organize things so that big round patent numbers would be associated with particularly notable patents? (I think I remember Palm e.g. having a many-zero’ed number for HotSync, though maybe that was just a coincidence)
@e7f76f0d Well that is a design. Maybe if it was filled with Rogaine it'd be successful.
One more observation: This claim is EXTREMELY narrow. I hope the inventor was well-counseled and understands what the patent does (and does not) cover.
@e7f76f0d I’m glad it went to a small business and it looks like the inventor and both examiners are all women 😊
