I don&#x27;t understand exactly what you mean by &quot;dull patents&quot;. Is that a standard term? I&#x27;m not well versed in this space, but Google&#x27;s not returning much for that phrase.<p>I&#x27;m guessing you mean overly broad or generic patents, i.e., not sharp and specific. I&#x27;m thinking something like a patent for adding an item to a virtual shopping cart. Am I inferring correctly?
