This is the second time this has been mentioned recently on Groklaw (a possible
invention having its patentability railroaded by the patent being made overly
broad).

Until such patent [legalese] writers are found liable for the costs they cause
(not just for the possible inventor in losing patent protection, but also for
innocent victims of use of such patents), it ain't gunna stop.

The problem is patent attorneys. A patent should be authored by an engineer
skilled in the art. If a patent attorney is not skilled in the art of
[whatever], then they should have nothing to do with the writing of a patent.

After all, the audience that a patent should be written for is an engineer
skilled in the appropriate art. The best person to write for that audience is
another engineer.
