At some point we have to hold the patent office responsible for allowing people to patent things they didn’t design.
If your patent doesn’t contain sufficient information for a competent engineer to build it out, it’s not valid. The entire point of a patent is that you get a monopoly in exchange for releasing viable instructions for doing (today, not at some unspecified point in the future) something no one has ever done before.
You do not have the patent rights to anything that you are not the first person to make technically feasible, and even then you only have the rights to the specific method you used.
Anything else constitutes failure on the part of the patent office, including, very obviously, those of Eolas.
