Reading Patents Responsibly
A patent is evidence of a filed and issued technical disclosure. It is not, by itself, proof that an invention was built at scale, commercially deployed, suppressed, or capable of every later claim attached to it. For claims about wireless power, pair the patent text with contemporaneous lectures, Wardenclyffe records, and dated press reports.
