The trick has a name

We call it Headline Over Filing: the document underneath says something else. You'll see it again. Learn to spot it →

Say this in tomorrow's meeting“It's a patent application, not a product, and the examiner has objected. As claimed, it edits one viewer's copy from their own profile. The worry is real, but Microsoft isn't rewriting broadcasts.”
