I expect this is the start of a patent troll story. Patents are supposed to be about informing the public. In reality patents are full of obfuscation and other legal gamesmanship, even as to who holds the patent. Anyone familiar with the "Unified Patents" story from 2017? https://ipwatchdog.com/2017/08/27/duplicitous-nature-unified...

You're completely right, the supremacy of the legal domain over the scientific i think is ultimately to blame. We need specialized courts for technological matters instead of letting seniors who can't even open their email make these important, nearly permanent common-law precidents. Or maybe just switch over to civil law.
