Do you comment on the scientific quality or validity of patents mentioned in the Technology Landscapes?

We do not provide extensive comment or critical evaluation the ideas, scientific experiments or results published in a patent, but users are welcome to do so in our forum via the annotation interface provided. 

It is important to note that when determining whether claims are patentable, a Patent Office does not have facilities to repeat and check the experiments, but performs searches for the "prior art" and attempts to determine the novelty, utility, obviousness and enablement for "persons having ordinary skill in the art" area of the technology. An issued patent is presumed valid until a patent office or court decides otherwise.

User comments about whether the technology in a patent actually works are therefore very valuable to the user community, and can point to ways the technology can be improved, perhaps with the improvements being made available to the community.
