Your own example shows how bad things are with Lomp our patents was just fine but without Lomp no good tell me what the patent said it does changed from Lomp and the other attorney, Did it no longer perform or what changed? What you basically said a good attorney can defend a good patent but a bad attorney can't win and you lose.
In fact is is a damn shame to have to have a lawyer to validate a damn patent. The patent should speak for itself and if it performs as designed the patent office should be able to verify it and that should end it. The fact that you need a attorney to show the patent office why the patent is valid and should be approved when that lawyer couldn't design a patent or they would have many patents they had designed approved begs their is something bad wrong with the system.
