That is the idea of a patent.<p>A patent is a document that makes it possible for someone else to replicate your idea. You exchange this knowledge for a monopoly as the only seller of this product in a given country.<p>But if other sources can&#x27;t replicate your idea, your patent should be invalid.<p>Everybody can manufacture their own products, even if they are patented. What they can&#x27;t do is sell them on the market.<p>What lawyers want is to receive a monopoly while giving nothing in return. They try to obfuscate the patent using strange verbs so examiners could not find prior art, try to extend the patent as generic as they can and even introduce invalid information so competitors could not replicate the thing, even after the patent expire.<p>Valid 3D computer files should be a requirement for a patent. The only reason they are not is because the patent office is obsolete.
