They defendant always says the patent is overly broad. The patent attorney specifically MADE the patent broad. Thats the only way it gets any value anyway.

- moomin 10y agoBut broad patents aren't valid. Well, not in theory. In practice you're right.
- jb613 10y agobroad != overly broad It's a balancing act between a patent that is worthwhile to own yet still novel+non-obvious. Overly broad means prior art exists that can be used to invalidate. If none could be found then it means patent is valid.
