A quick definition of aggregation rejection:
Aggregation rejection is when someone refuses to accept an offer or goods that were supposed to be delivered. This can happen in contracts or when buying things. If someone rejects something, they have to tell the person who offered it within a reasonable amount of time. In patents, aggregation rejection is when a patent examiner says that a claim in an application is not patentable. This can happen for many reasons, like if the invention is too broad or if the description is not clear enough.
A more thorough explanation:
Definition: Aggregation rejection is a type of rejection that occurs when a contractual offer or tendered goods are refused. It can also refer to a patent examiner's finding that a claim in an application is unpatentable.
Example: If a seller offers to sell a product to a buyer, but the buyer refuses to accept the offer, this is an example of aggregation rejection. Similarly, if a patent examiner finds that a patent claim is unpatentable because it is a list of unrelated elements that do not assert a claim, this is also an example of aggregation rejection.
Aggregation rejection can occur in various contexts, but it always involves a refusal to accept something that has been offered or presented.
