You’d think that would keep all the brilliant legal minds on HN from commenting on it!
I appreciate your analysis of it. You’re one of the few here who did read it.
- Spivak 7y agoPatents are written in an intentionally obtuse and difficult to parse way. They're pretty much written in the style of an 11th grader who is overdoing the thesaurus to try and sound smart while conveying as little actual meaning as possible. It's not like you actually want your competitors to be able to reproduce your idea -- you just want the protections.
