  • The fundamental thing you might be missing is that applicants claim more in the application than they usually end up with in the patent.

An apparatus for cardiovascular function monitoring, comprising: a miniaturized rectangular prism having at its bottom side . . . " (as quoted in the answer) Commented Apr 21, 2020 at 22:03
  • Oh, I was under the impression that the patent is accepted/declined as is. That's very interesting. If I'm just looking at patent applications at the moment, how can I tell what the finalised, granted version of the patent is? For instance, how did you find this version?
