I do sometimes, actually. But you're right that it's not a very understanding-conducive format. They're more concerned with making sure the claims are watertight than making sure the public can figure out what's going on in them.
- gruseom 14y agoThey're more concerned with making sure the claims are watertight As far as software patents go, if their claims are "watertight" it must be in some technical legal realm that is utterly removed from the field of invention. As software designs, the vast majority (that I've seen) are risible.
