Not at all !
Recent experiments have been carried out during a patent attorney
conference.
The same design was expressed in 5 ways, from very formal to very
practical,
and was given to groups of patent experts from 3 regions of the world:
europe,
USA, Japan.
They did not see that it covered the same design, and agreed to patent
some,
while rejecting the others. And it varied according to the geographical
area.
This is a complete mess !
