CSW admitted he hires patent writers
Hi, sorry for interrupting, patent professional here.  There is a very simple and very good reason for hiring professional patent drafters, and that is that if you don't know what you are doing, you will almost never be able to write a defensible patent.  At least in U.S. patent practice, specific words can have very specific meanings which differ from common connotations;  claims have to be in a specific format;  and the body of the patent must be drafted in particular ways to avoid giving up entire areas of subject matter, or worse, destroying your chances of obtaining or being able to defend a patent.  Also, there are requirements for drawings and how they relate to the claims, such that someone who doesn't know what they are doing can make it impossible to prosecute a patent to allowance.

For example, "plurality" means "two or more" and never one.  One patent-holder's case against a competitor was completely ruined by pointing that out; his patent required two items, but the competitor only used a single item in the not-actually-infringing product.

Another patent-holder could not enforce his patent because the drawings didn't show parts of the claimed matter.  (The USPTO examiner didn't bother to do his job during examination of the application, it should never have been allowed in the first place.)

Yes, legally speaking, you are allowed to draft and prosecute your own patent application.  Doing so is almost always a waste of your efforts because you will be destroyed by your lack of knowledge of the laws and practices.

Anyway, we now return you to your regularly scheduled unfettered glee at the meltdown of Craig Wright and all the other scammers who enabled and supported him.  Hodl on.
