Hi to all members:

When you look up a patent an example would be" Digital Hearing Aids". You are given list of all digital hearing aids with inventors names. In this example their are 50 patents. The full patent describes the invention in so much detail had to be written by a lawyer or a lawyer rewrote it. Then you are given 16 pages of the document with pictures of the invention. But this is the part I don't understand? Their no mention of Dsp chips or processor type or resistor vaules or cap. vaules, software source code either. And some of the idea's from inventors seem to cross over their idea's. You can only do so much with a digital hearing aid since its a very small device. Example mic, processor or dsp, two or three A/D converters, potenimeter, analog converter some type special speaker, switch, battery and case design. I don't even understand how their is 50 patents on digital hearing aids? You would think their could be know more then 10 because you can not do that much with the design. Also is the source code, processor type, or ic type hidden some where where only the patent office can see it. This is the most confusing part to me. Can some member please explain these questions that I wrote in this thread. Thanks for any idea's you may have on this subject.

Best regards,
