Seems legit. But you're right, it won't stand up in any court.



It won't? Let's assume it comes to a Jury trial and we get another Jury that doesn't need to look at prior art.

I don't mean that as a joke. If it's possible to trick a patent examiner by making complets so complicated that he doesn't understand them, why shouldn't it be possible to trick a Jury?
