It Shouldn't be Unclear

Authored by: Anonymous on Wednesday, May 23 2012 @ 02:13 AM EDT

With patents as they are, I would never look outside the four corners of the
patent to find infringement unless specifically instructed to by the court.

We see what they had in mind in their claims. They get to claim what they
actually thought up and nothing more. Software patents are ridiculous enough
without letting them make their patents sound as vague as possible in order to
have them cover ideas the didn't even think up.

Examples don't control the meaning of the words of the patent. Examples are
examples. They don't rule out other possibilities.
