We were in the same hiring class at the US Patent and Trademark Office, which started with four months of academy training, lectures, and lab exercises. On September 30, 2014, during a long lecture on Prior Art Rejections, Jocelyn glanced over her shoulder and noticed a cute guy sitting in the row behind her. A few minutes later, the cute guy (Manuel) tapped her on the shoulder and asked if she knew what the lecturer was talking about. As we whispered and shared notes, we felt an immediate connection that slowly developed into a close friendship in the following months.
