I've discovered something for the company I worked for, wrote the patent draft and spent weeks trying to explain to the patent lawyers,who wrote the final version, how it worked. So I should have a good understanding of the topic, but yet, I honestly don't understand the granted version of the patent. It's total gibberish.
- dognotdog 11y agoYou are not alone, I also do not understand much of my patents after they've been lawyered up. I attribute it to a) them trying to change the language to be as broad as possible, while b) making it also deliberately hard to figure out what the damn thing is supposed to do in the first place.
- justaman 11y agoOne of the greatest crimes of recent history is allowing lawyers to write a document so confusing only their circle of lawyer buds can understand it. Much of the "legal" world is so obfuscated that ignorance SHOULD BE a valid excuse for breaking the law.
