When are people going to start reading more than just patent titles?

This specific system and method involve using a card inserted into a computing device paired with a server over a network for authentication. It goes deeper than just the title.




Yes, read the patent. It covers a lot more than that specific case, which is why the title is vague and is exactly why governments should step in and stop this madness.


No it doesn't involve that at all. Please read independent claim 1, not the abstract or the description.


When patents are readable. That is, never.
