It’s old memories from the engineering school in Europe but I remember that a patent office is about collecting fees and documents, and won’t do any actual checks on the patents validities.
Whether a patent is valid is tested in court.
- pbhjpbhj 2mo agoSome countries don't examine patents for validity, some don't search prior art but leave it to the applicant. But plenty of countries do check for validity - including USA.
- speedgoose 2mo agoInteresting. They obviously don’t check very well if they do.
