If Nintendo can patent MOUNTS in the year of our lord 2025, that lemming can patent logic gates.

You can probably get away with it if you write it in a confusing enough fashion; but you need to make it really confusing - to the point even CPU architecture experts could miss it unless they pay very close attention; and remember that the claims - which are the only part of the patent that has any legal meaning - may be limited by law to a single sentence each, but there is no limit on how cumbersome each sentence is; additionally, semicolons are not sentence terminators; this means that this entire comment I just wrote is technically a only one sentence.

Nah, you just need to get a friendly judge to tell whoever decides to dispute your patent that they’re wrong and your patent is totally valid and innovative
