broader than the invention

Read a random definition: labina

A quick definition of broader than the invention:

Term: BROADER THAN THE INVENTION

Definition: When someone creates something new, they can apply for a patent to protect their invention. A patent claim is a statement that describes what the inventor wants to protect. Sometimes, the patent claim is too broad, which means it covers more than just the invention. This can happen when the inventor tries to protect too many things at once. When a patent claim is broader than the invention, it means that it covers things that the inventor did not actually invent. This can cause problems because it is not fair for the inventor to have control over things that they did not create.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: When a patent claim is broader than the invention, it means that the scope of the claim goes beyond what is actually disclosed in the patent application or granted patent. Example: Let's say a company invents a new type of bicycle tire that is made of a special rubber compound. They file a patent application for the tire and the patent is granted. However, if the patent claim is written in a way that covers all types of rubber compounds, not just the specific one used in the invention, then the claim is broader than the invention. Explanation: In this example, the patent claim is broader than the invention because it covers more than what was actually invented. This can be a problem because it can make it difficult for others to develop similar products without infringing on the patent. It can also make it easier for the patent holder to sue others for infringement, even if the other products are not exactly the same as the patented invention.

Glad you're back dk lmao. If you read the actual article, it's that his day one EO's are wildly unpopular (for instance the majority of americans support birthright citizenship). He can have won the popular vote and still do unpopular stuff

"Two recent polls found opposition to pardoning the J6ers at 57 and 59 percent, respectively, and that was before Americans understood that even the cop-beaters in the crowd that day would be let off scot-free."

I lean conservative and for a long time was one of those people who thought that he was bad but wasn't a facist and that sort of rhetoric was over-reactive. And for those reasons I voted for Harris, but I think I was underestimating him by far.
