The Lurker

Bogus claim

US Patent Application 20040161257:

9. The method of providing user interface displays in an image forming apparatus which is really a bogus claim included amongst real claims, and which should be removed before filing; wherein the claim is included to determine if the inventor actually read the claims and the inventor should instruct the attorneys to remove the claim.

I guess that means that no, the inventor doesn't read the claims, and probably that the attorneys don't either.
