Is it possible to know if a mechanic you want to apply to a game is patented before applying it or do you only find out when you are sued?

    That’s just what a patent looks like. The patent number, the designer, and who holds it. Then a summary. Designs. And description of how it functions.

    But yeah, it’s all legal talk so it’s a chore to read. Don’t feel bad, Einstein worked in a patent office.

    Here’s a much simplier example thats far easier to understand, but has all the same details:
