Your points are moot.You know perfectly well that you do not need the full design details and exact spec's to apply for a patent.
The more exact details you provide the easier for others it will be to circumvent your patent.A good example is the recent Beer Tender case between Philips and the Heineken Brewery.
Several of the applied technologies were patented by Heineken. Heineken claimed that Philips violated their patents. Heineken lost in court.However Philips circumvented those by a slightly different design approach.
Both machines operate exactly the same way though.A licensable technolgy technolgy is also a product.
The word product doesn't necessary implies a piece of hardware.The complete HDCD 'product' was/is covered by several patents. Only one (or more) covered the encoding method. If Microsoft bought one (or more) patents that covered the HDCD encoding then they only acquired the licensing rights for that particular technology.
The other HDCD technologies or products are now absolete anyway.
I said 'back then'. Is that to difficult to understand for you?
