      The more I practice patent prosecution, the more convinced I am that my idea of how formal it is is WILDLY inflated, and that a lot more seat-of-the-pants flying is going on on both the part of the PTO and the average practitioner.

      have just recently, for the first time in my life, contributed to writing up a technical (software actually, ugh, I feel dirty) patent application that my employer wanted to file. 1/2

      what we typed up seemed like a bit of a joke to me and I was left wondering "if they can't read the code how can you explain what it does?" the patent attorneys were impressed and told us it was a more thorough, borderline too technical application write-up.

      I don't have to be able to read the code to understand what it does. :)

      if you don't read the code you're really just taking my word for it

      I have to take your word for it: you're the inventor.

      the whole thesis of the Stallman free software idea is that you literally can't trust people only code. open source software is a really important thing. this is SOOOO much better than trusting the inventor. you can just verify it yourself by reading the code, if its FOSS.

      but proprietary software, closed-source code, etc. etc. business is what it is. trusting the inventor is second rate though, even if it's the best you can do in this situation.

          I literally have to do that. It's how legal ethics work.
