Mike提交的专利申请为什么被拒，你看懂了吗？
原来有人抢先一步向专利局提交了专利申请。
HARVEY: Evidently, there was a similar claim. They filed less than 24 hours ago, which means you filed a day later than you said you would.
Harvey建议Mike怎么做？
HARVEY: I suggest you get on the phone, call the patent office, and find out who beat us to it. Then you’re going to have Donna find any judge who will listen so we can get an injunction and stop whoever it is from launching their product first.
