&gt; A patent is directed at skilled practitioners of the relevant arts, this document has sufficient detail to allow a programmer to implement the idea.<p>I haven&#x27;t read the patent yet, but how specific is it? Because while it is one thing for the description to convey the general idea so that a skilled practitioner can make something similar, there&#x27;s a big fat question of ambiguity - did I actually make the thing this patent describes or not? What exactly is the thing that&#x27;s covered?
