Summary
Describes difficulty of claims construction, the function of the court, patent attorneys, and the effect that difficulty has on the patent process, and on patent litigation. Discusses the danger of claims being construed, not according to their legal meaning, but according to the "semantic debates over the meaning of words chosen by lawyers."
