Just for clarification, the description in a patent does not define the legal metes & bounds of the invention for which a patent is allowed/granted, it is just the patent claims. While it may be informational background- & context-wise, its not the enforceable part of a patent against possible infringement, just the allowed claims. Not legal advice, just a comment. And I may be missing the point, it’s good the government supposedly has legal rights in the patent because … ?
