Um. If the critics of this patent knew how to read claims they would not be concerned. This is a garbage patent that has claims that are extremely narrow. The attorneys that signed the last amendment introduced an extremely limiting amendment that makes the patent essentially useless. The examiner recognized this and allowed it. The attorneys that prosecuted this case have life science/chem/pharma backgrounds and used claim language common in life science cases. Such claim language is never used in computer/software patents because it is so narrowing. However, not having read the spec, narrow claims may be all that that are available. Though a good patent prosecutor with experience in computer/software arts would never draft them this way.
