I read some of the documentation around US8616175. The language is remarkably obtuse, are all patents written that way?

If anyone is so inclined, you can completely circumvent his patent protection by applying the "technology" to a single-cylinder engine, which type is specifically excluded by the patent's wording.

It looks like a different way of applying hybrid drive to a vehicle, mostly by stuffing the hybrid bits completely inside the block. Okay, that's a little interesting but not exactly earth shattering.

He got banned for blowing his horn last time, you'd think he might get the hint.
