Intent to manufacture, no. Implementation details, yes. Your disclosure has to enable a person of ordinary skill in the art to make your invention. If you don't know how your teleporter works, you can't get a patent on it.
AH! Ok. That is a crucial distinction I hadn't known was the case. It's important this be made clear, since I've seen several discussions implying "no details" was the case.
P.S. To Whom It May Concern,
It is objectively unfair for my OP to be downvoted. It was a legitimate question.
Yeah, I've seen lots of unfortunate confusion based on the "first-to-file" vs. "first-to-invent" distinction. Just doing my part as a patent attorney to clear it up when I notice it!
I'm a former law student who never quite got around to finishing my last class, and has kept up somewhat so tries to answer questions here and on Reddit until actual attorneys jump in. Some of my answers have been voted way up, so there is some danger people might actually listen to them.
Great to see an actual patent attorney around so that if I get something wrong there's a chance it will get caught.
