I don't think so. For your job, you just need to describe a device, using complicated words, in such manner that other devices to come will be automatically covered and will automatically infringe the patent, based on the technology under the patent or not. Plus, you have to do it so the inventor cannot recognize its own invention while reading the patent. You just have to be careful about prior art.I'm a patent attorney who writes patents for complicated electronic devices. I have a bachelors in electrical engineering and a jd, of course.
for my job, i need to be able to understand the theory behind pretty much everything, although i need to be able to know how to design nothing. i joined in hopes of finding answers to some theory questions i have and others that may arise from time to time that my old textbooks and wikipedia can't answer for me.
:rotfl: that's somewhat accurate, although in order to be able to describe a device you have to understand how the thing works. you also have to be able to understand the inventor; or worse, you have to be able to realize all the stuff an inventor left out of an invention disclosure because, to an engineer with a PhD and 27 years of experience it's implicit and doesn't need to be mentioned.I don't think so.

Indeed. It might be a little help for your job!:rotfl: that's somewhat accurate, although in order to be able to describe a device you have to understand how the thing works. you also have to be able to understand the inventor; or worse, you have to be able to realize all the stuff an inventor left out of an invention disclosure because, to an engineer with a PhD and 27 years of experience it's implicit and doesn't need to be mentioned.
