Patent Reviews

I'm working on a patent review and don't understand the subject matter. As always, we've been trained narrowly on the topic and have keywords; we may also use the bat-phone whenever necessary.

Since none of us are patent attorneys (they have actual jobs), none of us are very clear on whatever it is we're working on. It's like we're 20 kinds of stupid, nevertheless, reviewing the documents.

Incomprehensible document + keywords and engineer-speak = responsive.

Glad you enjoyed it. Patent reviews are always confusing.
