Ironically: will it work?
Authored by: Anonymous on Tuesday, April 23 2013 @ 12:21 PM EDT

The irony is that Lawyers are willing to argue:

    all does not mean all
That's what got us to the point we're at. While we - the experts in the field that is being patented - find the arguments obfuscating/ridiculous/preposterous/etc that sure hasn't stopped the Lawyers.

Even if official dictionaries are provided - unless the Legal system (Judges primarily) reigns in the desire to argue, the Lawyers will be looking for any "partially fuzzy" area of any word so they can argue.

I have hopes an official dictionary - one that both the Legal and tech world can live with - will help. But the pessimistic/realistic side of me recognizes that even with that in play you'll have the Lawyers still willing to argue because "they never agreed with that term in that instance" if for no other reason.
