Yup, baffle the lay-people with BS always works. I bet nobody has stolen this patent. Nobody except a wealthy individual or corporation can defend a WORTWHILE patent these days, but having some looks good on the resume and to the rubes... Hey, even if your patent is worthwhile, so-called reputable companies will blatantly swipe it and refuse to pay the royalties for as long as they can; just winning a judgment doesn't put the $$ in your pocket...Yeah. I figure unless I decide to become "an inventor" and just patent things in order to license it to others, not much point in bothering with a patent. There can be a pretty wide gulf between the underlying patent and the actual implementation of it so I figure if I can't make my product better than someone else's, it's my own fault. More power to 'em.
