Dear Jed,, PHOSIA is a slogan-acronym with one poisoned letter "O" ordinary skill has to be defined for each case. The difference between patent and know how is greater for processes than for products. I give you an example: - a patent gives a recipe with ingredients in some limits, sometimes large but actually optimum or even usable narrow limits exist;- climited combinations, - the patent has to give all the steps but does not give necessarily the real order and that can be critical;
and there are some features difficult to define- please imagine a patent for a well working FP Cell in the hands of a good PHOSITA To not use a remote example.
